National Take a Hike Day

Celebrate National Take a Hike Day with a relaxing, ranger-led walk along the scenic Heron Run Trail. This out-and-back trail follows the shoreline of Douthat Lake, offering peaceful views and a chance to connect with nature.

The hike is approximately 1.6 miles round trip and is rated easy, making it a great option for families and casual hikers. The single-track trail is mostly flat, with just a small hill at the beginning, and provides a smooth, enjoyable walk through the woods.

Along the way, you’ll have the unique opportunity to walk across the top of the dam and get an up-close look at the historic spillway. Participants will have to walk down a set of stairs to get off of the dam. A park ranger will guide the hike, pointing out interesting flora and fauna, and if we’re lucky, we might even spot waterfowl on the lake.

公园是属于每个人的。如果您对无障碍设施有任何疑问或顾虑，请致电540 - 862 - 8114或发送电子邮件至 Hannah.Johnson@dcr.virginia.gov。
