One of our favorite places to tube the beautiful New River. Very shallow at this point. Ride the rapids or not, which makes it very family friendly.

Sightseeing

This is where Dirty Dancing was filmed! It’s a beautiful place with lots of good hiking and walking trails. We recommend that Bald Knob Trail that goes up behind the main lodge (take the trail up to amazing views and come down the gravel access road!) The Appalachian Trail and some overlooks are easily accessible a few miles past the lodge (War Spur Trail and Wind Rock overlook)

We've been going to the Wine Lab since it first opened. Great snacks and lighter fare, and they are very knowledgeable about their wines here. Try a flight in some beakers!
