  Hungry Mother State Park is one of Virginia's original six state parks, established in 1936 on 3,334 acres of mountain woodland in Marion, Virginia. At its center sits a serene 108-acre lake, framed by hiking trails, a sandy beach, and a boat launch, giving couples and event hosts a mountain-and-water backdrop that's been drawing visitors for nearly a century. The park's Civilian Conservation Corps-era infrastructure, built between 1933 and 1941, earned it a listing in the National Register of Historic Places and still shapes the setting today. For events, the park offers the lakeside Lakeview Event Facility, an amphitheater on a footbridge-accessed island, picnic shelters near the beach and in secluded woodland, and the meeting rooms and sports complex at Hemlock Haven Conference Center. Named for the local legend of a pioneer woman found near the mountain now called Molly's Knob, Hungry Mother pairs its scenic lake and woodland setting with a range of indoor and outdoor spaces suited to weddings, retreats, and gatherings of varying sizes.
