VIRGINIA IS FOR BLUE RIDGE LOVERS

Ideas for a Perfect Blue Ridge Day

Catch a Wave

Visit Smith Mountain Lake

Beat the heat at Smith Mountain Lake. Surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Smith Mountain Lake is a playground for the entire family. Swim along the sandy beach at Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Rent a boat or jet ski from one of the many marinas. Enjoy a round of golf at a waterfront course. There's even an old-fashioned paddlewheel boat offering lunch and dinner cruises. Lodging choices range from a waterfront resort to rustic cabins and everything in between. Find something for everyone in your family at Smith Mountain Lake. The Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast is a short drive up Route 122/Booker T Washington Hwy to Smith Mountain Lake.

 

Rides, Racing Pigs, Music and More

The younger kids will love the petting zoo and animal acts. Older kids can't get enough of the thrilling rides. The 23rd Salem Fair has all that plus great food, music and more. Admission and parking are free, but rides and some other events require a small fee. The 23rd Salem Fair runs from July 1 - 11.

 

Always Fresh

Take home a taste of the Blue Ridge Mountains when you visit one of the Roanoke Valley's four open-air Farmers' Markets. Local farmers offer fresh fruits and vegetables, plus flowers and plants. At some markets you might even encounter local artists offering jewelry, pottery and other handmade treasures. Discover the Farmers' Markets in downtown Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, Botetourt County and Rocky Mount.
