A Screen-Free Summer

People tubing on the New River

Get a real rush of dopamine while tubing down the river at New River Junction! One of the oldest rivers in the world, enjoy scenic views, rock formations, and clear skies as you take a break from the hustle and bustle.

People riding bikes over a bridge on the Huckleberry Trail

Hop on the Huckleberry Trail, a 15-mile paved rail-trail network connecting the towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg. Bike, jog, or walk to your heart’s content as you enjoy the serenity of Southwest Virginia.

Pandapas Pond, a part of the Jefferson National Forest, is another fantastic place to unplug. Fish, hike, or mountain bike at this haven of nature.
