Abingdon welcomes adventurers with its rugged beauty and boundless outdoor possibilities.
Abingdon is the perfect place to set up headquarters for outdoor exploration within an hour’s drive of some of the best of what Southwest Virginia has to offer.
Just off Main Street is the bucket-list, Hall of Fame Virginia Creeper Trail. a 34-mile Rails-to-Trails biking and hiking trail, starting in the center of town.
Through picturesque countryside and mountain drives, the outdoors beckons amateur and expert enthusiasts with lazy kayaking and hiking, horseback riding, biking and rock climbing.
Explore heart-soaring views, waterfalls, rushing waters and rugged terrain, including The Appalachian Trail, Grayson Highlands State Park, with its wild ponies and The Channels Natural Area, full of natural geological wonders.
It’s no wonder why Abingdon was named the Top Small Adventure Town by Blue Ridge Outdoors, TWO Years in a row!
