A bike trail challenging to both beginners and experts.
Reviewed By knightma - Lancaster, United States
Some friends had told us about the trail a couple of years ago. We had a great time, rented a bike and shuttle service to the top of the trail. The part from White Top down to Damascus is pretty much all down hill and is pretty easy, even if you haven’t ridden in a while. There are several places to stop along the way and the scenery is great.

My husband and I went to the Moonlight Drive In to see the Barter production of A Christmas Carol. They play was great and the workers have gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe from COVID. There’s even someone sanitizing the port a potty after every user. The radio station provided great sound and the oh screen was helpful too since we were a little farther back.

This scenic rail to trail park extends for about 34 miles from Damascus, Va to Abingdon. I walked for about an hour and a half and really liked it. There seemed to be a lot of trees along the trail. I'm guessing this would be a great place for a summer hike or bike ride if you like well shaded trails.

Come for a tasting and a picnic on our beautiful riverfront property! Kids, dogs and kayaks welcome!
Reviewed By bllngskrn - Wilkesboro, United States
A beautiful fall afternoon can only be enhanced by reflective rolling water, interesting friends, and great wine. The water and the wine can be had at Abingdon Vineyard. You buy your wine and snacks inside and move outdoors to one of the picnic tables on the recently cleared river bank. This setting lends itself to good times. Now, if I can only find my way back....

I attended a Thursday night performance by two bands and enjoyed them both. This center is part of the Crooked Trail of Appalachian music.
