Thirty-one
miles of the
Blue Ridge Parkway follow along Floyd County's
eastern border. The Parkway was built after the Great Depression
to make jobs for engineers, architects, and local mountain
people. The parkway spans from the Shenandoah National Park to
the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park along the southern Appalachian mountains
of Virginia and North Carolina.
We would
be remiss if we
did not mention the New River, which by no
means represents its name. The New River is part of one of the
oldest
river systems in the world. It flows northward from North
Carolina
through Virginia and West Virginia into the Kanawha and Ohio
rivers. These two facts alone
make it well worth reading about,
let
alone its beauty and recreational benefits.
The
Commonwealth of
Virginia, also known as the Old Dominion, offers a
multitude of scenic views and fun activities. The east coast is
home to Virginia Beach and the other Tidewater areas, and the
Appalachian Mountains and Appalachian culture span the western
part. The countryside spanning in between is a
lush, fertile farmland. Browse the many attractions of Virginia:
