1. 5.0 Alleghany Outdoors (44 reviews)
   - Great tubing experience !

   The outfitter was very well organized. We brought our own bikes and rode about 7–8 miles up the beautiful trail and had a great lunch at Cliff View Golf and Fly Fish Inn/Brewhouse. Be sure to stop and explore the Swinging Bridge between milepost 4.5 - 5.0. We then rode back to the outfitter and cooled down with a 2 mile tube float. The outfitter gave great advice about how to navigate the river. The tubes were sturdy, which was needed, given that we scraped over a few rocks. We recommend taking the small paddle that was offered as it allows person to maneuver better and push off rocks and the bank. See more..

   Easy evening walk along the Jackson River. Started at the Evergreen Inn B&B where we stayed. The scenic trail is a converted rail to trail. The path was wide and flat and at the time of our walk adorned with painted rocks. See more..

4. 4.5 Falling Springs Waterfall (181 reviews)
   - Beautiful 80' Falls in VA!
   Spent < 1 hour Waterfalls
   
   
   I was worried that the fact we could only view from the overlook and not up close would mean it wasn't a great view, but it actually was a great view! I was not disappointed. In fact, we visited 3 times during our stay at the nearby Omni Homestead. I even brought my tripod and we took slow shutter speed photos as well as photos of us together in front of the falls. This is such a nice place to visit and anyone passing through the area should make the stop. They added picnic tables to the parking lot so you can stay awhile too (though there is no view from the parking lot). Out of the three times we went, one time was fairly crowded (middle of the day), second time there was only one other group there (close to sunset), and the third time we were the only ones (close to sunset the next day).
