Douthat State Park
Douthat Lake is home to some big, beautiful trout. Join a ranger to explore the fascinating world of native fish. We'll take a close look at the unique features that help us identify different fish species found in our lake and streams, learning how to tell a sunfish from a trout or a bass from a carp. Then, step into the shoes of early naturalists and fishermen as we create nature prints using rubber fish models and paint; it's a fun and artistic way to record the details of these incredible animals. This hands-on program blends science, art, and history, helping us connect more deeply with the natural world. Great for families, kids, and curious minds of all ages. Parks are for everyone. If you have accessibility questions or concerns, please call 540-862-8114 or email Hannah.Johnson@dcr.virginia.gov.
