Definitely my favorite hiking spot! I have a tight work schedule, so hiking isn't something I have…read morethe opportunity to do often. However, this is my favorite spot to go to. They have mild spots for beginners, and extremely difficult long hikes for those who love a challenge! There are many paths to take and different destinations, so you never get bored of hiking the same trail over and over. There's always a surprise. The view is absolutely stunning, and somehow, it's always so clean! I absolutely adore this trail, it's the only trail I go to now. Here's a photo of me after the hike! This has become my usual spot to just hang out and enjoy nature. It's very peaceful closer to the top, so I enjoy meditating here, as well. Definitely recommend this wonderful place!! Will never go anywhere else!

At the center of a sort of suburban sprawl that characterizes this confluence of states, this park…read moreoffers trails, frisbee golf, golf golf, and a variety of other activities. The lake has one very hilly, woodsy side, and one quite flat side, so you can choose your adventure or do both. The parking area was kind of confusing and had gates which just opened automatically so I don't know why they needed to be there at all. The overlook on the more rugged part of the trail didn't have a clear view, though what one could make out through the brush looked nice. It certainly isn't like being out in the abundant nearby wilderness, but as far as urban park land goes it has plenty to offer.

Love this park, so glad they put in a Splash Pad for the kids...my kids love it. Only cost $2.00 to…read moreget in. They have a nice (air conditioned) nature center and we love going out on the water in the paddle boats. Kids love riding the little train. They have several shelters that can be rented for parties. The playgrounds are really nice and well maintained. Nice place to take your bikes and ride around the lake.

Bristol Caverns is the 27th cave that we have visited and it didn't disappoint. Clay was our guide and he was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a great conversationalist. The caverns are beautiful and a must-see for anyone in the area. We will be back!

This is a tier waterfall . None of the sections are really that big 25' or so for the tallest one …read more Not much hiking maybe 1/2 mile total . There are some stairs down to the pool part and the bottom tier but they are tall and a pain . The overlook is the best part but be extremely careful because you will not walk away if you fall . People get hurt here often and some never make it home

Easy to get to playground when you're on the road traveling - close to hotels & fast food…read more We stopped here before getting back on the road after a 1 night stay near by. It served its purpose - getting energy out before the next leg of the drive. There's a small area for younger toddlers and bigger playgrounds for older kids. My 2 year loved the taller playgrounds. Many features to run around and play on. There is some wear and tear to the playground. It's muddy when wet out but overall a good park. There is also a free little library - there wasn't much in it while we were there. Easy parking

We had lots of fun, relaxing and laughs, especially when we had to drag each other over the low areas of the river!

Gateway Park sits at the bend where US‑23 slips past Gate City, and the setting gives the markers…read morethere a little extra weight. The handful of historical signs ring the green space in a way that encourages you to slow down and read each one. The small gazebo anchors the park and offers a bit of shade, especially useful on a long drive through the mountains. The open lawn works well for a short stretch break for drivers and passengers who need a moment off the road. Dogs can enjoy it too as long as they stay leashed. It's a simple stop, but the combination of history, scenery, and breathing room makes it an easy place to pause before continuing along the highway. It is a passive park - there are no playgrounds, restrooms or such. [Review 86 of 2026 - 1532 in Virginia - 25276 overall]

Me and my wife recently visited this park. We parked by one entrance but didn't know that there was…read moreanother one with a parking lot for plenty of cars. This park has a beautiful story for it and why it's called Jacob's Nature Park . We embarked on a one mile Loop around the path. There was an obstructed tree that was actually black in our path that we had to climb over so be aware of that prior to this review if you were attempting to walk the path. There's also another path too if you follow the white markings on a tree. There is a nice creek along the path to for most of the trail. Overall, I thought it was a good part to check out. No public restrooms by the way! Plenty of park benches to sit on
