Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory
​(The Fire Tower)

Since 1952, Hanging Rock has been a monitoring point for hawk, eagle, falcon, and osprey migration along the birds' eastern route. It is located in Monroe County, West Virginia between Waiteville and Gap Mills. This easy hike is very close to the farm and offers incredible 360 degree panoramic views!

Paint Bank, Virginia

The Cascades

This highly scenic, 4-mile round-trip trail meanders along a shaded mountain creek to a 66-foot waterfall within Jefferson National Forest. Hike is low to moderate difficulty. Picnicking area is at the beginning of the trail.  Native trout fishing available in the Little Stony Creek.  Accessible restrooms at the trailhead. Picnic area. Water hydrant for filling water bottles available in the recreation area.

Lost World Caverns

About 1 hour drive from the farm in Lewisburg. They offer self guided tours that take about 45 minutes to walk through at your own pace or you can sign up for a 4 hour spelunking tour to explore the depths of the cave.

Float the New River

Take a scenic paddle down the New River with Tangent Outfitters    They rent all sorts of watercraft for New River float trips.  The easiest and quickest to do is Trip 6, where they haul you upstream to Eggleston and you float down to the Pembroke boat landing where you'll park your car a couple blocks from the store.  Easy to do & they have snacks & food for you while waiting for your group to get set-up and takeoff. They take you to the nearby boat landing where you leave your car & where your trip ends.  Trip takes 1/2 day or less.
Also offer guided fishing charters but need to be set-up in advance.  Canoe & kayak trips don't take much to set -up.  Call the day before.  Allow an hour to get to the store, same as going to the Cascades.

Fish the New River

New River Outdoor Co. is located in Pembroke, Virginia (about 1 hour from the farm). All of our guided smallmouth trips are run on the New River, recognized as some of the best smallmouth and musky water in the entire country. Britt and his team of professional guides have plied these ancient waters for decades in pursuit of trophy smallmouth bass and musky. The team tailors each day on the water to their specific clients’ needs and revels in the memories that are made to last a lifetime.
