Mountain Lake, a rustic 2,600-acre resort located 4,000 feet above sea level in the Appalachian Mountains, offers recreational opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, frisbee disc golf and adventure enthusiasts.

Mountain bikers can test their abilities on the challenging terrain and trails that won Mountain Lake a spot in regional and national cycling events.

The hiking trails become cross-country ski trails when snow falls, and there's skiing on an old carriage road and abandoned golf course.

The nearby New River offers rafting, canoeing, kayaking and tubing, and local outfitters serve the off-mountain recreational needs of Mountain Lake's guests.

Mountain Lake’s proximity to the Jefferson and George Washington National Forests and the Appalachian Trail provide a wide array of hiking opportunities.
