Best places: Hiking areas in Roanoke, United States

👍👍 We hiked this on Wed, 7-27-22. Trail was in great condition. Very easy to follow. We hiked up for sunset and hiked back in the dark. No route finding issues except that just before the summit you will veer off on a path just to the left that will take you to the famous overlook. We did miss that and...

This 57-mile-long park with a trail for hiking, biking & horseback riding, plus fishing & camping.

👍👍 I really enjoyed the hike on Sharp Top Mountain. The parking lot was pretty much full, but the trail wasn't crowded at all. The people whom I encountered on the hike were friendly, which made the experience that much better. The views were awesome, and the trail was in very good shape.

👍👍 This is a trail that will run into the Appalachian trail at the 1.4 mile mark, where you can set up camp. It's 2.5 miles to dragon's tooth, with moderate rock climbing until you reach the last 1/4 mile. Then your agility/ability to navigate rock facings with 5-6 inch ledges for footing. There is als...

Reserve with 9 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, plus boat launch & visitor center.

👍👍 The trail is very easy. Anyone can do it without a problem. One side of the loop follows a very scenic stretch of Roaring Run, with many cascades along the way. Also seems to be a bunch of swimming holes as well. Trail ends at the main drop. You can continue over the falls to go to the Iron Ore trai...

The state's second largest freshwater lake hosts swimming & boating, plus miles of nearby trails.

Named for cross-shaped staurolite found here, the forested park has a lake, cabins & hiking trails.

👍👍 Its a fun, well kept park with an excellent disc golf course

Visitors can access this dramatic, 40-foot waterfall via a marked trail from a parking area.

😐 We decided to take a hike the last week in May. Beautiful scenery on the way down but we never made it to the falls due to the snakes. All black snakes thankfully which aren't as aggressive. There were at least 3 on our path so we turned around because the time of day we went in the evening there wa...

👍👍 One of the best challenging hikes in the area. Seemingly brutal never ending up (especially if you haven’t hiked for awhile) but oh so worth it. We did it again on Christmas Day and the wind was howling. And we had the trail almost to ourselves- a rarity. Always being extra supplies as you never...

Refined B&B with understated traditional decor, plus river views, 3-course breakfast & free cookies.

A 315-acre site showcasing an 18-hole golf course, a campground, roller skating rink, pools & more.

👍👍 Best views (and the easiest) I’ve found in the area. I took the Oak Trail (red blaze) to avoid the others entering the Ridge trail (blue blaze). It’s twice as long but not as steep. Trail is Ricky in places but nothing too bad at all. Still a nice little workout and both trails meet near the top...

👍 Amazing waterfall! Parking lot is fairly small, mostly mud and dirt save for a few pull-off spots; so if you have a small car you may be better off finding a parking spot along the road. There's an overlook with natural seating about a mile from the start, but the three trails are set up for one-way...
