Bats are not that freaky. Wander down to the bridge on Fridays in October to learn more about these mysterious creatures. Learn how interesting, diverse and crucial bats are for people, animals and all ecosystems. Enjoy stories, facts, myths and much more.

This is a children friendly event. Wear bug repellant and closed-toed shoes. Be sure to bring water, snacks and a flashlight. Meet at High Bridge Trail River Overlook, Friday at 7p.m. The closest parking access to the River Overlook on High Bridge is Camp Paradise (0.3 miles away from the bridge).

Events are free, but State Park parking fees apply. For more information, contact the High Bridge Trail State Park office at (434) 315-0457 or visit http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/high-bridge-trail#general_information.
