Mecklenburg County features charming small towns
to explore, but with so many miles of trails for hiking
and riding, plus a spectacular 50,000 acre lake with
850 miles of shoreline, it’s not surprising that so many
visitors choose to spend their entire vacation out-
doors! Home to the Southern Virginia Wild Blueway,
consisting of 3 rivers and 2 lakes, this unspoiled
wilderness adventure is just a short drive from major
metro cities. Perfect for hours in a canoe with the kids,
or a weekend full of scenic fun with friends!
Take off from one the 17 public
boat launches as you explore
hundreds of miles of pristine and
WILD waterways throughout
Southern Virginia.
