Virginia State Parks
www.virginiastateparks.gov
Did you know Virginia has 34
award-winning state parks!
Virginia State Parks are a tonic for
the mind, body, and spirit. Museums,
visitor centers and nearby historic
sites make state parks cultural
treasures. The recreational
opportunities in state parks are
endless and easy to see – from
swimming and boating to horseshoes
and hiking, there’s always something
to do in a state park.
South Boston residents and visitors
can choose from an abundance of
activities with three state parks
nearby. At Staunton River State
Park, swim in an Olympic-size
pool with waterslides and “Pollywog
Pond”, or enjoy fishing at the
confluence of the Dan and Staunton
rivers. At Occoneechee State Park,
just down route 58 in Clarksville,
VA, explore the history of the
Occoneechee Indians. Both parks
provide easy access to Buggs Island
Lake with ample parking for boaters,
along with camping, cabins, picnic
areas, and playgrounds. At
Staunton River Battlefield State
Park, Clover, VA, visitors can
explore Civil War history in the
visitor center and along the park’s
rail-to-trail.

Virginia’s 34 award-winning state
parks, or to make reservations, call
