Explore the Beating Heart of Grayson County:
The Ancient New River
The New River—one of the oldest rivers in the world—winds through Grayson County, Virginia, offering stunning mountain views, rich biodiversity, and endless outdoor adventure. Popular for fishing, kayaking, tubing, and riverside camping, the New River’s gentle flow and scenic beauty make it a favorite for families, paddlers, and anglers alike. Its ancient waters carve a timeless path through the Blue Ridge, inviting exploration at every bend.
The New River needs YOUR help!
Every year in August, Grayson County residents and visitors band together to clean up the banks and waterways of the ancient New River. Every pound of trash collected is one less pound littering our beautiful river–and everyone can find a way to get involved!
Join a river clean-up with us! Or grab a river clean-up bag at any of the Grayson County boat landing sites to do your part on your next float.
