The Roanoker - January/February 2019 - 30

SWIM IN OPEN WATER.
Pools are perfectly nice. But there's something elemental about
swimming long in a lake. There's plenty of off-shore strokes to be
had in Virginia State Parks like Claytor and Douthat. Take it to the
next level with an open swim race at Lake Moomaw in Bath County in
August or Franklin County's Smith Mountain Lake in September. Or
swim as the start of your triathlon at Smith Mountain Lake in May,
Lake Moomaw in June or Claytor Lake in September.

PICK UP A
PADDLE.
You may want to star t at
Roanoke Mountain Adventure to
rent your stand-up paddleboard
(SUP) or kayak. They also offer
SUP classes and tours, as well
as kayak shuttles and guided
trips. Back Country Ski & Sports
in Blacksburg and Salem rents

Tubing on Smith Mountain Lake

EXPLORE A
CAVE.
The Roanoke region is full of
spectacular caverns and caves
- think Dixie Caverns in
Salem or Rockbridge's Natural
Bridge Caverns. But beyond the
billboards, there's another kind
of caving that requires hiking,
climbing and crawling to
explore a world few even know
exists. A handful of area groups
can lead your next underground
adventure: Roanoke Parks and
Rec and Wilderness Adventure
at Eagle Landing in New Castle
lead "wild caving" tours.
Virginia Tech Venture Out takes
caving trips in the Blacksburg
area.

kayaks and canoes. Roanoke's
Parks and Rec offers seasonal
SUP classes at Carvins Cove .
Once you're ready to hit the
water, the Roanoke and James
rivers, as well as Carvins Cove
and area lakes are yours for the
floating. New boat landings and
blueway maps make navigating
a trip on the Roanoke River -
anywhere from Montgomery
County to Smith Mountain Lake
- easier than ever.

FROM FINE TO FOLK,
THE ROANOKE
REGION STARS IN

the Arts.

Find top-rated work in galleries, museums and theaters.

HIT THE HAY.
Is there anything closer to
nature than sleeping in a
tent? The birds, the breeze,
the feel of a fire and smell
of blossoms. Today there
are even more options for
outdoor stays. Virginia State
Campgrounds are a start.
As are camp sites in the
Jefferson National Forest
and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Even closer by, Roanoke
County's Explore Park now
offers primitive camping,
cabins and yurts - simple
but elegant structures; think:
glamping. Yurt options
abound in Floyd, as well.

TAKE A TRIP TO THE
TAUBMAN MUSEUM
OF ART.

From its stunning architecture, to its long list
of classes and events, from its permanent pieces (don't miss the
jeweled Judith Leiber clutches) to its special exhibitions (on view
now: DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles), from its
hands-on, kid-centered Art Venture space to its sunlit cafe, the

Taubman is a Roanoke treasure.
