What a great way to start a new year – bright skies, mild weather, and lots of friends – new, old, 2 and 4 legged.
This large crowd gathered New Years Day 2025 to hike along Belle Isle’s Deep Creek trail from the boat landing to the visitor’s center. Rangers Rachel and Nora led the mile long walk along the Rappahannock. Rachel explained the obvious erosion and explained the plans to stem it, as has been done in other areas of the park. At the finish hikers enjoyed some crafts and the Friends of Belle Isle provided cider and cookies.
Happy New Year All!
