Earth Day is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Join us for a ranger-led hike on the River Bank Trail. You will have opportunities to observe the Staunton River, the Dan River, and the John H Kerr Reservoir. This is a perfect way to get outdoors, be healthier, or just spend more time with your friends and family. The Riverbank Trail is an easy to moderate hiking trail and is perfect for beginners or for those who have been hiking all their lives. Be sure to dress appropriately, bring a drink of water and maybe a small snack. Pets are welcome. There is no fee for this program.
