Springs; if you're visiting from Staunton-Waynesboro, you won't be the only one. What would winter be without some skiing at Wintergreen. This lake is so wonderful. Deep Pond Run is a wonderful local stream, and Marl Creek - South
R.Trib has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby. So much amusing stuff to do here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, too glorious to be true. Don't leave Lake Wilda without first going for a hike along the Stony Run Trail, and you can
stay the night at Stoney Creek Resort. There's splendid hiking along the Cold Spring Bald Mountain Trail, and Walnut Hills Campground is a wonderful campground nearby. All year is a good time in the Blue Ridge Mountains if you
adore the outdoors. The scenery at South River Number Seven Dam in the neighborhood of Lake Wilda is lovely, and in case you don’t mind getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Tye River - North Fork.

Sherando Lake Campground
 | Well me and my family have been going to Sharando Lake ever since I was born and we havn't gone anywhere else I love sherando and I can't wait to go back for another memorable camping weekend!...As close to perfect a camping experience as you can get: 1) Private, secluded, spacious campsites 2)access to flush toilets and showers, 3) a breathtakingly beautiful lake/swim area 4)hiking trails. WORD OF CAUTION: in-season, all sites are snapped up by Thurday noon for the weekend. Come on Sunday for best selection or before Thursday if you want a shot at a campsite. They don't take reservations (as of 8/2006) Wish they would so everyone could have a shot at a weekend camping trip there, not just the locals who can zip in and set a few camping chairs on the sites on Thursday to claim it for the weekend. ... |
Middle River
 | 1 PHOTO Heading back to river this week August 27, 2007. Here is one of the fishing pics from the last trip on the river a couple weeks back in earlier August.... KOA campground is along a portion of the Middle River. Took kayak along to do some floating and fishing.Being not familiar with the area, had a hard time finding a spot to launch which was not private property. Went about 1 mile up river from campground and found a pullover on the road edge. Launched yak and started fishing. The water level is way down, almost too low to float. The fishing was AWESOME and caught plenty of smallmouth and even some nice sunfish. Couple of the smallmouths were very nice. Floated river two times over the weekend and had a good time. Several rock gardens that require walking and dragging kayak. All in all a good trip despite going solo and not knowing the area.... |
