Wondrous Waterfalls

We have more than our share of impressive waterscapes in the Heart of Appalachia. Experience scenic cascades, as well as refreshing rivers and reservoirs.

1 day CLINCH RIVER LIFE

Start on the water – the Clinch River, of course – with a gloriously relaxing tube float. Slather on the sunscreen for a gentle downriver float that can last from 90 minutes to three hours. Rent brightly-colored tubes from Clinch River Life in Duffield.

DEVIL'S BATHTUB

No need to dry off yet. Devil's Bathtub is your next stop. Enjoy a short waterfall hike and a dip in an icy cold swimming hole. Two playful rope swings keep the fun going all afternoon.

Appalachian Mountain Cabins

Stay the night in a rustic inspired mountain cabin with modern conveniences, like microwaves, wi-fi, even air hockey tables. Yes, please.

2 day STONE MOUNTAIN ADVENTURES

It's an easy 30-minute drive north to Stone Mountain Adventures in Norton, where you'll gear up for a guided kayak paddle on an area watering hole, like the Norton Reservoir or Bark Camp Lake

Tank Hollow Falls

Next stop, Tank Hollow Falls . This 60-foottall waterfall is tucked away in a quiet hollow in the Appalachian Mountains. It may be one of the most peaceful places on earth. Certainly, it's well worth the 45-minute drive from Norton.
