 Join us at Menokin this July 4th weekend for family fun. We have scavenger hunts and special family rates for guided kayaking. Walk our Rolling Road trail and see our new fairy houses. If this is your first visit, don't forget to tour the ruined home of Francis Lightfoot Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. 

On Friday, the 4th, from 3 - 5 pm, we'll have a food truck and HotMix VA will be there DJ'ing and playing music. We'll have activities for the kids and waterworks to keep them cool. Bring your blanket for a family picnic!
