The New Castle Town Park is on

Rt. 311 across from Bibo’s Pizzeria. It’s

a couple blocks from the corner of Rt.

42 and Rt. 311. Along with photo ops

with our unique LOVEWORKS, the park

offers a new basketball court, picnic

shelter, and play area for young

children.

Fifty-two percent of Craig County

is in Jefferson National Forest. We

have two access points to the

Appalachian Trail, three different

Virginia Scenic Byways,

and pristine views of farmland and

mountains. Quaint family

cemeteries, one-hundred year old

churches, the Eastern Continental

Divide, and Fenwick Mines

Recreation Area are just a few of

the features that make Craig

County a unique destination.

There’s gliders soaring overhead,

scenic overlooks on Rt. 42 & 311,

and the Craig County Fall Festival

on the 2nd Saturday of every

October. Want more? A swinging

bridge inside a restaurant, a deli

next to a catfish pond, and one of

the best jeep trails on the east

coast. Indeed, your next adventure

is just around the bend, in Craig

County.  

 Recently dubbed the “Redbud

Capital of Southwest Virginia”,

Craig County is the southern

gateway to Virginia’s Western

Highlands.  We hope you enjoy

your visit!

Fenwick Mines offers easy

walking trails, fishing ponds, and

diverse flora and fauna. A large

picnic shelter is available for

rental. Designated by the Forest

Service as a Day Use Area, it is

about a ten minute drive from

New Castle down Rt. 615.
