Is there any lake swimming?

Jeremy Yoho | Oct 23, 2018
Staunton River State Park | Oct 23, 2018

We don't have a developed beach area for swimming and there are unknown hazards and currents so we do not encourage it, However, we also cannot prevent it. We actually have a pool because the location at the confluence of two rivers make swimming particularly hazardous.

How many cabins

Sheila Ferguson | Oct 23, 2017
Jonathan Adams | Oct 23, 2017

I believe it's 5, there is one studio style one and 4x 2 bedroom. The two-bedroom ones one room is a queen size bed and the other room is bunk beds two of them have to bunk beds two of them have one bunk bed. I have stayed in them before they are really nice definitely worth the money. They also have a bunk house with 12 bunk beds I believe. They have a nice back deck, good kitchens with kitchen utensils etc. It's a great park to stay at, I took my family out the and they loved it. It's great for kids to ride bikes around, they have a large pool that was a lot of fun, plenty of fishing spots and a boat launch, and some absolutely fantastic views of the stars.

I thought I had seen a stand-up paddleboarding class scheduled for this Saturday (9/22/18), but it is not on the website? Was I mistaken, or is this class still available?

We have a moonlight canoe paddle Saturday evening http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/park-event-info?id=SR180058-03. Our events list categories and one of them is Canoeing/Kayaking/Stand Up Paddlboarding - perhaps you saw that and thought it was a SUP program?

Are the stargazing canoe trips scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights still going to happen this weekend (9/21 & 22/18)? Will these still be held if it is too cloudy to stargaze?

Priscilla Woodson | Oct 23, 2018
Staunton River State Park | Oct 23, 2018

They really are more just moonlight paddles. You need to pre-register so call the park and they can give you what parameters they use to determine whether they will cancel.

Florence's impact is up into southern Virginia. With how wet it has been, it won't take much wind to start toppling trees. The plan is to open tomorrow but double check the park's website before heading out.
