The Virginia Creeper Trail is one of the premier rails-to-trails works in the county. For nearly 35 miles of converted railroad hikers, bikers, and runners can explore the wilderness at their own pace. This particular section follows along the path of Whitetop Laurel Creek, with a number of bridges as the path and creek cross each other at the bottom of the valley.

The Virginia Creeper Trail crosses the Holston River at the confluence of its Middle and South Forks. An impressive wooden bridge crosses the river and makes for dramatic photo opportunities.

This is an easy trail around a small lake, which makes it a good place to bring the kids for their first hike. It's not usually very busy so you can expect some solitude if you come on your own.

This is a quiet lake in a tranquil setting. The fall colors are especially beautiful but any time of year is a good time to visit.

If you're looking for a hike in Damascus then you should start here in the city park. Not only does the Appalachian Trail pass through but so does the Virginia Creeper Trail. The Appalachian Trail will take you up to the ridgeline as you hike out of town, while the Virginia Creeper Trail sticks to the low ground and follows the creek through the valley.

This is a small brewery in a small town but they make excellent brews. Keep in mind they don't serve any food, though there is a food truck here at certain times. If you're passing by on the Virginia Creeper Trail this brewery is worth a stop.

The Virginia Creeper Trail has one of its terminuses just south of Whitetop, the other is in Abingdon. The trail spans about 34.3 miles, reaching from Abingdon, Virginia, to the North Carolina state line near Whitetop Station, which is here!
