Pocahontas State Park. 30 minutes south. $10 I believe for one car. Free if you have an REI membership or sales receipt. Great trails- co op trail is a good loop that is walking only (no mtn bikes.) Went last weekend and the trees were awesome.

I went with your suggestion. It was beautiful. I walked the trails for about 4 hours.

Awesome! Last weekend was my first time and I was impressed with the infrastructure (well marked trails, parking) and beauty.

Wait, free with REI membership?? How did I not know this???

I don’t know about the REI memebership. You can buy an annual state park pass which covers all state parks or use the individual REI receipt.

We have the annual parks pass, and I did know about the REI receipt before we started buying an annual pass. Had never heard that an REI membership gets you in free...
