Regardless of falling temperatures or even falling snow, Mason Neck State Park is a great 
place to visit in December. Bring a thermos of coffee or hot cocoa and enjoy a brisk hike along our trails, or just watch the songbirds flocking to the Visitor Center birdfeeders as well as the ducks congregating nearby on Belmont Bay. Winter is a wonderful time to explore nature. If you're lucky enough to be here after a snowfall, you might even see the tracks of elusive animals such as red fox, turkeys, deer and more.
We also offer guided interpretive programs on weekends most of this month, except on the 26th and 27th. You can go birdwatching for winter waterfowl, try your hand at Geocaching, or look for the ever-popular bald eagle. The following programs are held on Saturdays and Sundays this month.
Even if you can't make a guided program, come visit us this month. Parking fees always apply: $3/car on weekdays, $4/car on weekends and holidays. We're located in northern Virginia, in the southeast corner of Fairfax County. We hope to see you soon!
