The Virginia Bluebells are blooming throughout the park! If you are planning to come check them out, please keep an eye on the weather. Rain is forecast off and on Wednesday-Saturday. We anticipate blooms next week, too.

While you can spot plenty of blooms from the roadsides along the river, if you are hoping to see them on foot, head to the Swimming Deer Trail. The trail head is located in the campground, behind the shower house. Please do not park on campsites to access the trail.

And please don't pick the flowers, leave them for all to enjoy!

The bluebells that didn't go under flood waters have started to bloom! This weekend would be a good time to see them. Those that went under water are a little behind, but the unseasonably warm temperatures are pushing them along.
The majority of bluebell viewing is along the Swimming Deer Trail which is located in the campground. Please park at the shower house to access the trail head. Please do not park on campsites.

If you were hoping to see the bluebells this weekend, they are not ready to greet their adoring fans just yet. Lots of buds and leaves, but not very many open.
