Hiking: Hundreds of miles of hiking trails in the area.

Biking: Biking in Blacksburg isn’t just about outdoor recreation. Many residents take to their bikes every day for commuting to work or downtown for shopping and entertainment. The town has an extensive trail system. Check out Gateway Park, Huckleberry trail, or Pandapas Pond, to name a few. https://stepintoblacksburg.org/recreation-nature/biking/
Mountain Lake Lodge: Visiting where Dirty Dancing was filmed! Step into Johnny and Baby's dancing shoes at Mountain Lake Lodge. Visit the real film locations from the movie.
Claytor Lake: Ideal for swimming, camping, hiking and picnicking, Claytor Lake is known for sport fishing and boating. The park has a full-service marina with docking slips, supplies, fuel, boat rentals and refreshments. https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/claytor-lake
New River: Throughout its journey in Virginia, the New River flows through spectacular, untamed mountain scenery complete with craggy rock cliffs and magnificent gorges. Thus, the New River provides plenty of excitement for whitewater enthusiasts, with several major Class II – III rapids. There is also an abundance of flatwater to please motorboaters and canoeists.
Fishing: Fishing is not to be missed in on the New River. Simply stated, the New rivals the James and Rappahannock rivers as one of the best fishing rivers in Virginia. It supports outstanding populations of just about every major freshwater game fish in the state: Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Muskellunge, Walleye, Black Crappie, Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Yellow Perch, Redbreast Sunfish, and Bluegill. https://dwr.virginia.gov/waterbody/new-river/#overview
