Franklin County is a distinct outdoor destination along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a landscape woven with miles of roads, trails, and waters perfect for adventures of all kinds. Bike along nearly 50 miles of local scenic byways. A paddlers’ paradise: you can paddle on one of five blueways, including Philpott Lake. Or spend the day boating on one of two lakes, including Smith Mountain Lake. Finish the day with a craft beverage at one of our fine wineries, breweries or distilleries! www.visitfranklincountyva.com (540) 483-3030.
