The Hoover Mountain Bike Complex has over three miles of trails open to hikers and mountain bikers, all rated easy or moderate. These trails explore what was once a mining area used by Hoover Color Corporation and have informational signage about the area's past. You'll see colorful rock walls and mountain vistas. The trails in this park can make for a fun detour and a change of pace if you choose to add them to an adventure along the paved New River Trail.

Great spot to stop off and picnic. Easy access with parking right over the road from the water near the VT golf course.

Willow Springs Lake is a small reservoir lake on the North Fork Roanoke River. In the fall and winter when the leaves are gone you can see the lake from Catawba Road as it winds through some woodlands. In the summertime however the leaves block the view. You can go a little bit further down the road to the south and take the gravel road next to the old barn and silo; the lake will be just around the corner on your right. This is a dead-end road however, so you will need to do an out-and-back.

Hethwood Pond creates a beautiful environment in Hethwood Park, with willow trees surrounding it, some nice gazebos, and a lot of benches and tables; a great spot for a picnic.
