We've got room on the trail! 🌲
Our next Bedford County Hiking Club adventure is coming up at 5:30 p.m.on Wednesday, June 24, and we'd love to see a few more friendly faces join us.
After carpooling from Discover Bedford to the trailhead, this family-friendly, 4.5-mile hike follows Mid State Trail Section 3 from the historic Civil War Trenches to Point 36. Expect peaceful woodland scenery, a mostly gentle route along gated Game Commission roads, and a chance to explore a piece of Bedford County's history while spending time outdoors with a great group of people.

Some places don’t ask you to do anything except slow down.
At Shawnee Lake in Shawnee State Park, the water stretches wide, the mountains frame the horizon, and suddenly the noise feels very far away.
Whether you’re spending the afternoon by the shore, paddling across the lake, or simply taking in the view, this is the kind of place that reminds you to breathe a little deeper.
