Southwest Virginia Travel Guide

The Heart of Appalachia Field Guide is your free travel guide to the Best of Virginia’s West — seven counties and the smallest city in Virginia, in Virginia’s far southwest where the state meets Kentucky and Tennessee.

Inside: The seven-stop Waterfall Trail, from an ADA-accessible cascade to Devil’s Bathtub. Fourteen named Appalachian Backroads routes across 1,400 miles of motorcycle and scenic driving. More than 400 miles of Spearhead Trails off-roading on reclaimed coalfield terrain. Five state parks and Southwest Virginia’s only national park. Crooked Road music venues where mountain music is still played every week. And the Clinch River — the most biodiverse river in North America.

Doable, open to all adventures.
