Virtual Tour: Youth Conservation Corps Trail

The Youth Conservation Corps Trail is a .9 mile, easy hiking trail that connects the boat launch area to the Discovery Center. Constructed by crews of primarily 14 to 17 year old participants in the Virginia State Parks Conservation Corps program, the trail closely follows the eastern shore of Douthat Lake via the beach area, the park restaurant, Camp Malone and the spillway. The trail passes near Camp Carson and the Discovery Center where there is access to the Heron Run Trail and Blue Suck Falls Trail. The YCC trail is fairly flat and smooth along most of its length, however the trail does include wooden stairways and bridges as well as several rest areas with benches.
