Virginia Counties from A to York

  • Brunswick County

    Brunswick County

    We spent the best dog friendly weekend ever in Brunswick County, Virginia sampling Brunswick Stew and exploring Fort Christanna, the Tobacco Heritage Trail, and Lake Gaston.

  • Botetourt County

    Botetourt County

    We found the top 10 dog friendly activities in Botetourt County, including a historical tour, a 200-foot waterfall, and paddling on the James River.

  • Bland County

    Bland County

    In Virginia’s own Shangri-La within the Blue Ridge we marveled at the picturesque landscapes, endless forests, and absence of traffic lights.

  • Bedford County

    Bedford County

    Maybe the Beale Ciphers are a hoax or maybe Bedford County conceals a vast fortune. Nonetheless, we are far richer for having discovered some of Bedford County’s treasures for ourselves over a long weekend.

  • Bath County

    Bath County

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dip into Bath County. With forests covering almost 90 percent of the county, its verdant beauty left us awestruck.

  • Augusta County

    Augusta County

    We spent a long weekend exploring dog friendly activities in Augusta County, Virginia, but could easily imagine spending an enjoyable two weeks here, or perhaps even an entire lifetime

  • Arlington County

    Arlington County

    We left the dogs at home to visit Arlington National Cemetery, but made it up to them later with a grand tour of Arlington’s dog friendly spots.

  • Appomattox County

    Appomattox County

    In Appomattox County, we were either off-grid and having fun outdoors or we were taking in the area’s Civil War history.

  • Amherst County

    Amherst County

    Don’t make my mistake when you visit Amherst County. Bring your kayak! The good news: we saw 2 waterfalls, hiked portions of the Appalachian Trail and James River Heritage Trail, and visited the Monacan Indian Nation Museum. Added bonus: Mack and his brother Ron had a ball fishing the James River with guide Jeremy Cunningham.

  • Amelia County

    Amelia County

    If you are a Civil War history buff, you know that Amelia Courthouse and Sailor’s Creek both played crucial roles at the end of the war. Close to the Courthouse, Amelia County’s Wildlife Management Area is a great place to fish, hike, bike and go kayaking. Plus, it’s free and dog friendly!

  • Alleghany County

    Alleghany County

    
Our weekend in Alleghany County consisted of one highlight after another. Seriously…a stunning waterfall, a cave, a historic covered bridge, the Jackson River, and a bike trail from my dreams!

  • Albemarle County

    Albemarle County

    During our weekend in Albemarle County, we spent one day getting away from civilization at the county’s best kept secret, Totier Creek Reservoir Park. The following day we toured the county’s best known landmark, Monticello, and dined in Charlottesville.

  • Accomack County

    Accomack County

    With its beaches, wild ponies, and Virginia’s only launch site, Chincoteague Island is a hard act to follow. We biked, fished, hiked, and went kayaking. However, seeing an empty beach at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge during the height of tourist season rates as a highlight of the trip.
