First time fly fisher person, here, and boy was I surprised how much I enjoyed fly fishing…read more Setting is perfect, the Lodge along Knapps Creek, is spacious and comfortable. Excellent morning coffee! Anne took me out and taught me some basics and before long, I was in waders and in Knapps Creek fishing. Caught my very first trout! Highly recommended excursion. You will be welcome and well-cared for.

Unfortunately the water was very low and the fish were very spooky ( well it was Halloween weekend after all). But we still hooked a few and saw lots of other wildlife including several adult Eagles in the area. All ready planning another couple of trips for next year!

There are not enough stars to share how we feel about our experience with Justin and Middle River…read moreOutfitters. From start to finish - it was top notch, well-organized and well-communicated. Two fishermen: one a complete novice and, the other an early enthusiast. Justine was part teacher, part coach and part trout whisperer - and 100% focused on our experience. He has the gift of knowing his craft and reading the room. He was by our side when we needed him - yet gave us all the space we needed to try out what he taught us....which was considerable, yet never felt overwhelming. His instructive pacing is impressive. Each point was easy to understand and built up. By the end of the day we felt like we had learned so much. Could not have asked for a better time on the water. It was everything you could ever want. The result? Justin deepened the resolve for one of us and created a new fly fishing fan in the other. Thank you!!

This place is awesome. As big or bigger than Bowden but the staff is way friendlier. One of the…read moreguys gave each of my kids a bucket of feed for the fish which they had a blast feeding, something none of the other hatcheries we have visited has ever done and we didn't even ask for feed! The one in Bowden will barely unlock the gate for you and the Petersburg Hatchery is so small it really isn't even worth stopping in to see. They have trout here from fry up to some big giant hook toothed monsters. Kids have a great time playing here, good way to kill an hour or so.

What a fantastic little campground! Five sites all right on the Cedar Creek. Fall asleep…read morelistening to the sound of water rushing by. All sites have water and electric and are nicely spaced apart. A dump station is within easy access on the property. Very quiet and peaceful. The host, Levi, is just one of those outstanding individuals who is always upbeat and wants to make sure you are enjoying your stay. Prices are comparable to a KOA without the "pack em in" feeling and the crowds. Plenty of places on the property to explore as well as the nearby George Washington National Forest. We found out about this place from a work friend and will be coming here regularly. Note that fishing the trout stocked creek does cost extra as Levi has day guests fishing it as well and needs to keep fishing pressure low. He also provides guided and semi-guided hunts during the season.

Only place i really launch my boat it's good when river is at right level and the upkeep is done…read morewhich hasn't been very good. The places to tie off your boat are gone with nails sticking out everywhere and after water levels rise there's always thick mud on the concrete pad. If you have a good size boat the water around the ramp can get pretty shallow. Also, there's a lot of people who come there that can't read the rules and trash the place. When the upkeep is good and not muddy it's a good ramp.

We had a fantastic visit with Karen and Don. What a hidden gem tucked in the valley of the…read moremountains. The river is directly across the street and perfect for trout fishing. Karen and Don gave us a walking tour of the area and showed us all kinds of interesting flora and fauna. We had such a wonderful time relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the scenery. They had great tips on what to do in the area. Don gives fly fishing lessons and is a patient teacher. We had a fantastic breakfast and lots of interesting conversation. I think Karen and Don know something about everything. It was great. I was sorry that we had to be on our way. The good news is this is a 4 seasons area. I'm sure it's beautiful in the fall and is a short drive to Wisp Resort for winter skiing.

The Fire Trail was a nice hike over the mountain without being too strenuous and had views of the valley at different points along the way. I could see it being muddy though if it rained recently so be careful. They weren't charging admission when we were there on a weekday afternoon and there was plenty of parking. It looks like they have fishing as well and maybe swimming when the weather is warmer. This place isn't far at all from Crozet so we went for a hike then had dinner in town.
