Valley Lake is always a pleasure to visit. This lake is so wonderful. Don't leave Valley Lake without first going for a hike along the Pine Mountain Trail; as expected Benges Branch flows through this vicinity. You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Cumberland Plateau Mountains. If you came to camp Jessie Lea Recreational Vehicle Park-Campground is a nice spot to do that, and a great close by hotel is Holiday Inn NORTON.

Powell River - South Fork
 | I've been recording climate data in this area for 2 decades.The South Fork of the Powell River Gorge is one of the deepest chasms in all of Virginia, being 2000 vertical feet deep. It drains the highcountry southwest of the Big Cherry Basin of the High Knob massif...the greatest landform of far southwestern Virginia that sprawls across southern Wise County, northern Scott County, and into the extreme northeastern end of Lee County. This is a high precipitation area; although, 2007 has been the driest on record with 40-46'' across the upper elevations ( if you will check that is still above the annual average of many places in Virginia ).... |
Big Stony - Mountain Fork
 | I have been doing climate research on the High Knob massif, the great landform upon which many of these whitewater runs are listed for in Wise-Scott counties of Virginia, for some 20 years. This is a high precipitation area ( although 2007 has been the driest on record with 40''-46'' so far ) that tends to average 60''-70'' per year amid the mid-upper elevations ( 2500-3000+ feet ) along the Wise-Scott border. The city of Norton has been found to be the wettest town or city in Virginia over the long term, with an annual average during the 1983-2004 period of 57.54'' per year ( and that with some missing data during the winter months prior to 1999 ). Thought you would be interested in this information, since not alot of data is available on this area.... |
