Blue Ridge ... Green River

No matter how you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, we've got a colorful spot for you. Our hiking fits any level - from easy, paved trails to 6-mile mountainous treks through a pristine watershed area. Our most-loved attraction is Pearson's Falls, where a gentle quarter-mile hike will transport you through a pristine nature preserve to a misty glen filled by the 90-foot falls. Take a picnic, or your camera, and enjoy getting up close with nature.

The Green River, internationally known by kayakers for its Class I-V rapids, has three sections that cover all levels of tubing, kayaking and canoeing, plus fishing and swimming. Green River Adventures, a new kayaking school, and several tubing businesses provide the equipment and shuttle service - all you have to do is show up for your relaxing float or river adventure.

Local parks and small gardens abound in our area. Facilities include gazebos, picnic pavilions and areas, playgrounds, ball fields, hiking trails, tennis courts, tracks, and even a skate park.
