Nice view of a 100 year old man-made waterfall. Only about a 20 minute hike.nnIt's also next to a few other decent hikes so it's worth driving an hour if you want to hike for the day.
One of my favorite trails in Roanoke. The beginning of the hike overlooks an enormous man-made waterfall which in and of itself is impressive, but if you hike down to the river you'll get to see some rapids and a lot of rocks. If you're feeling adventurous and don't mind getting a bit wet, there's a way to get to the middle of the river over the rocks. Follow them upriver a bit to find some more interesting areas and get a better view of the waterfall.
Found this place when I was driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway going toward route 220. Not a bad hike, it is only about a 20 minute hike to the river, and once there you can walk along the river up stream, and climb over rocks and small cliffs. Use caution the rocks can get very slick. Wear proper hiking shoes with good grip. The rive is pretty, but sadly you can see a lot of trash along the rivers edge, trapped in the low lying trees and bushes. All in all, it’s a nice short hike if you live close by. However it would not be worth a long drive just for this place.
My wife and I love this spot. One of our favorites. Great little home when you're short on time and just want to get moving and see some beautiful scenery. We like to picnic and hike here as often as possible.
Nice trail by the Roanoke River. Not a long walk, but enough to stretch your legs and see a different part of Roanoke.
