Things To Do
Carvins Cove Reservoir
You can hike to the top of Carvin's Cove or rent Kayaks for the afternoon. Carvins cove is a non-motorized waterway in the Roanoke area.
Mill Mountain Star
The Mill Mountain Star is a Roanoke staple. There is a trail you can hike up for a quick hike or you can drive up to the top of the mountain to see it lit up at night. The Roanoke Star looks over the city and also over the peaks of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Center In The Square
Roanoke's downtown market is full of shops and eateries. Center in the Square or the City Market building are landmarks downtown. They have great brunch options on the weekends as well as a beautiful farmers market.
Roanoke Mountain Adventures
RMA is a great local shop in Roanoke located on the greenway that has many different bikes and outdoor equipment available for rental. It is conveniently located right off the greenway in Roanoke that provides over 20 miles of paved paths through the mountain town.
Hazy Mountain Vineyards & Brewery
Lynchburg and Roanoke are both fairly close to plenty of winery and brewery options for a day trip if your'e in town for the weekend. Some of our personal favorites are Hazy Mountain Winery and Brewery as well as Blue Mountain Brewery. These are located on Rt. 151 nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Charley and Marcus actually got engaged at Hazy Mountain. All of these will have incredible views.

Percival's Island Natural Area
This paved trail follows along the James River for quiet nature strolls or biking rentals if wanted. It is close to downtown so could grab food with a view after.
