Description

Added by Kelly Park

This beautiful lake and recreation area offers a well maintained campground and is perfect for picnics, swimming, and hiking.

Sherando Lake is a beautifully maintained dog/family friendly campground situated between two lakes. Upper Sherando Lake is available for fishing only but the larger, 25 acre, Lower Sherando Lake offers swimming, fishing, kayaking, and relaxing on the beach.

The campground is divided into three loops -- one with electric hookups, one with non electric (reservable) campsites, and one with walk up / first come first served campsites. Each site is groomed and cleaned daily and includes a picnic table, lantern post, and campfire ring with grill. Amenities include modern showers, flush toilets, and drinking water spigots, which are located through the campground. The bathrooms are impeccably clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Sites cost $20 per night payable at the park entrance station.

Be sure to take a dip in the lake, hike one of the many trails, or lay out on the sandy beach!

*Tip: While dogs are not allowed on the main beach, if you take the short trail around the lake, there are several spots with smaller beaches where your dog can take a dip in the lake!

Camp at Sherando Lake

10/27/16

I spent a few hours at this beautiful park today. It was nice, empty (weekday in Oct), and very clean and organized. The amount of picnic tables indicate that it's probably very busy during the summer months. Went for a walk around the main lake which took around 30min, photographed some hawks, checked the campgrounds and left in time to see sunset at Ravens Roost Overlook, just up on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

From the parking area at Reids Gap, start off on the white-blazed A.T heading south as the trail begins on the left side of a clearing. You will begin climbing Meadow Mountain shortly and in .8 miles arrive at the top of the ridge, where you will continue on downhill for another .8 miles until you reach the first intersection with the Mau-Har Trail. The Maupin Field Shelter is just down to yo...

Note: We usually get a chance to take this trip in the summer, so please pay attention to the weather and pack accordingly. This description is for a July/August hike and the temperatures were in the 80s during the day and 60s at night. During this time of year rain showers are always a possibility and during our most recent trip it rained off and on every day, so this will also affect your pac...

Hike to White Rock Falls

Park in The Slacks Overlook parking lot on the Blue Ridge Parkway, around milepost 20. From there exit the parking lot back onto the road and head left. About 300 feet from the parking lot there is the trail entrance. It isn't too hard to find if you are looking for it, but there aren't any markings along the road indicating that it is there. Continue onto the trail and follow the yellow marker...

Located next to Wintergreen Resort, Devils Knob is super easy to get to and has an amazing 180 degree panoramic view. Looking Southwest over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway, this 3,800 foot overlook had a great view of Three Ridge Mountain and the Priest. Located on Devils Knob Loop, the overlook is not marked, but it is a very obvious turn off and has plenty of parking. Th...

Explore Ravens Roost Overlook

This cozy little overlook is very simple to get to. If you are coming from I 64, after taking exit 99 towards Shenandoah National Park, turn right onto the Blue Ridge Parkway when the exit comes to a "T-stop". From there, it's 10 miles down the Parkway on your right. You will see a clearly marked sign for Ravens Roost Overlook. There is plenty of parking, a few picnic benches, and lots of spot...
