The Grayson Highlands Area

Grayson Highlands State Park and Mount Rogers National Recreational Area are home to the highest peaks in the state of Virginia. The peaks of the park are visible from the front porch of Laurel Wood Cabin and the entrance to the park is only 2 miles away.

Grayson Highlands State Park

Located high in the Appalachian Mountains, Grayson Highlands State Park is a rustic oasis for mountain biking, hiking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding and fishing. The park's nine, foot-wide trails wind through open field and forest, at times becoming quite steep. They open onto expansive views, scenic waterfalls and a 200-year-old pioneer cabin. Wild rhododendrons fill the forest with purple and white blooms in mid-June and wild blueberries abound in August. (L.L. Bean Website)
