The Sign Post, York River State Park, Norge, Virginia
Most sign posts are bland and barely functional; we particularly liked this one. The York River State Park offers hiking, biking, and horse riding trails as well as a beach and beautiful views of the York River. Its sign posts were colorful and eye catching. It is yet another great Virginia park.
