Active Pursuits

Although Virginia is best known for its multitude of historic sites, it's also home to a host of outdoor activities. In this section I give you an overview of what I consider the best options available, where they are, and how to get statewide information.

The Virginia Tourism Corporation publishes an annual Virginia Outdoors magazine that gives a comprehensive rundown of the activities available, a calendar of outdoor events, and a list of the many outfitters and tour companies operating in the state. Call tel. 800/827-3325 for a copy.
