Augusta County

From the majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the splendor of Grand Caverns, Augusta County offers some of the most memorable scenery found in nature.  This pristine landscape once stretched as far west as the Mississippi River and included areas of Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.  Today, Augusta County includes an area that reaches from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the east to the Alleghenies in the west. A stroll into lush countryside will reveal countless green pastures, crystal clear waters and striking natural phenomena such as the limestone towers of Natural Chimneys and the subterranean wonderland of Grand Caverns. Visitors are impressed by the spectacular views from the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway while recreational opportunities abound in the Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest and along the Appalachian Trail. Recreational facilities offer such diverse activities as swimming, camping, horseback riding, fishing, hiking, golf, and cross country skiing. Once you've satisfied the urge for outdoor exploration, retreat to the serene comfort of a country Bed and Breakfast, the rustic charm of a clean campground accommodation, or the pleasant efficiency of a modern hotel room. Explore one of the many charming shops that dot the landscape along Route II, popularly known as "Antique Alley". Conveniently located at the crossroads of 1-81 and 1-64, Augusta County is fitting testament to the wonders of nature and a definite breath of fresh air for all who visit.
