Lexington Guide 21 - 17

OUTSIDE!
W
hen you adventure outside
in Rockbridge County,
it's easy to understand
the phrase " the great outdoors, "
as so much of ours is unspoiled.
Launch your explorations by tackling
our most visible landmark: House
Mountain, actually two mountains
with a " saddle " in the middle. Reach
the great views from House Mountain
Reserve from the trailhead on Route
643.
Before the James River reaches
the Chesapeake Bay it inherits
the waters of the Maury River,
the only Virginia river to both
begin and end within one county.
The Maury and the James both
hold the Virginia Scenic Rivers
designation. Both offer serene
stretches for lazy tubing as well as
tumultuous rapids for experienced
whitewater enthusiasts.
Goshen Pass is the place to
enjoy the spring whitewater of the
Maury River as well as summer
swimming and sunbathing on the
big boulders. Note that trail access
from the swinging bridge requires a
Wildlife Management Area permit.
The Maury at Jordan's Point
in downtown Lexington is calmer
and has become a popular place
for families to splash around with
their little ones, and a launch point
for paddleboarders and paddlers.
