Take Fairview to Bray and park in either of the dead-end entrances to the right, and follow paths to either the suspended boardwalk, or through the woods on mown paths that let you forget you aren't miles from civilization, deep in the magic.

This is a park filled with trails, both dirt and boardwalk, and the largest preservation of raw, local countryside in the area. There are picnic areas, long shaded paths, creeks, wildlife, and a deep vertical cave accessible by boardwalk and staircase called the Devil's Icebox where it's 56 degrees all year-round!

Adorable spot close to Rockbridge State Park and the Devil's Icebox, as well as the worth-the-trip Strawberry Hill Farms, where you can sit outside with local food and drink and enjoy the fresh, manicured countryside and friendly locals.
