Come for the outdoor recreation, friendly towns, and unforgettable experiences. Giles County is home to 37 miles of the New River and New River Water Trail, over 50 miles of the Appalachian Trail and the Great Eastern Trail. Grab a friend, a bike, a paddle or a pair of hiking boots and get outside. Take your dog on a long walk around Glen Alton. Saddle up your horse and go for a day’s ride around White Cedar Horse Camp or take to the water in a canoe or kayak for a little “me” time.
