Adventure into one of Virginia’s most pristine fly-fishing destinations, where the legendary Jackson River carves through a gorge of extraordinary beauty. This beloved recreation area serves as the gateway to world-class trout fishing in the river’s special regulation section, hiking trails that lead to a picturesque swinging bridge over rushing rapids, and mountain biking routes through dense forest. The Jackson River Gorge Trail and Hidden Valley Trail follow the winding riverside through a landscape that seems barely touched by time, where bald eagles soar overhead and the only sounds are birdsong and flowing water. With facilities for equestrians, ample parking for day visitors, and countless photo opportunities, Hidden Valley captures the wild heart of Bath County.
