Loch Haven Lake is a great lake club with tons of stuff for members to do. The picnic shelters and party house are perfect for any event with a simple, rustic, or natural setting....

Craig Creek
16 miles away
I've never kayaked this stretch of Craig's Creek, but it is not the ONLY stretch by far!  We spent 10 days in a lovely VRBO.com riverfront vacation rental downstream from New Castle, and kayaked both up and down the river multiple times, even though the area was in the middle of a bad drought.  We will be renting in Roaring Run this year, which is according to the owner kayakable for the 5 miles to where it meets the James River.  There is a very nice pull out/picnic spot where the two meet, and plenty of room to park.  Take time out to splash around as well.  I've never seen a river this clean before!...

Roanoke River - South Fork
19 miles away
What parking place do you park at to get in?  Parking place to get out for this trip? Could tubes work also?...This run is great, but it is NOT in Bedford or Campbell county not even near. it starts in Mongomry county and flows into Roanoke county.use the put in at the Dixie Caverns wayside on Rt. 11. there are several take outs you can use, the river is next to the road in several places....

Smith River
28 miles away
The Smith River also offers a good run from the Philpott Dam on to North Bassett area, while generating electricity.  Depending on the number generators running, this little stretch offers some good class II's and maybe a III ...... water temp in the 40's is perfect for the hot summer days....

Snowshoe
62 miles away
Snowshoe has the biggest elevation drop of any skiresort in the region which in my oppinion makes it a realtively great ski resort. You can get more skiing done before you have to get on the lift again. Which I think is very important in a ski resort....
