Roving through Virginia with Rover

  • Dickenson County

    Daniel Boone had the right idea when he traveled to this region with his dogs. We took the same pilgrimage, and like Boone and his pack, ventured to one of the most beautiful places on Earth—Breaks Canyon.

  • Culpeper County

    Culpeper County

    Our pack hiked through stunning Civil War battlefields, visited a bison farm, and relaxed at a winery. We also awarded Culpeper County with a big “paws up” for its dog friendly downtown.

  • Craig County

    Craig County

    Does a dog friendly adventure involving forests, mountains, bald eagles, a waterfall, hiking, fishing, folk art, and bison sound too good to be true? We found all of these things and more in Craig County, our corner of paradise.

  • Carroll County

    We created the Carroll County caNine list of our 9 favorite dog friendly features including the New River Trail, Chestnut Creek Falls, and live outdoor music at the Blue Ridge Music Center.

  • Caroline County

    Caroline County

    Traveling with your dog? We include a guide for visiting the Virginia State Fair as well as Caroline County’s sweet dog friendly offerings: a dog’s eye view of a mega-fossil, Secretariat’s birthplace, a sanctuary for carnivorous plants, the best lakes for kayaking, walking tours through history, and more!

  • Buckingham County

    We traveled to Buckingham County, a yogi’s paradise, and created a guide on how to visit Yogaville if you are traveling with your dogs. We also found some local dog friendly activities on both land and water.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
