Unique Location

New River Trail (New River Trail State Park) is one of the country's premier rail-trails. Created from an old railroad right-of-way donated by the Norfolk Southern Railroad, the trail runs 57 miles, from Galax, through Foster Falls, to Pulaski. Around 39 miles of the trail runs parallel to the New River.

New River Trail includes many railroad-related features, including dams, sky-high trestle bridges, and a couple of lengthy tunnels. In addition, a variety of activities are available along the trail. You can enjoy horseback rides, biking, boating, and fishing.

At the Galax trailhead, you'll find a red caboose to explore. We have direct access to the New River Trail, so you pay no parking fees. 

Unique Culture

The Blue Ridge Music Center is a music venue created to preserve the traditional music of the Blue Ridge Mountain region. Genres such as bluegrass, folk music, and blues are represented. Past performers have included Doc Watson and Ricky Skaggs.

While you're at the Blue Ridge Music Center, make time to drop by the visitor center and museum for in-depth information about the musical history of our region.

The center also has a couple of relatively short hiking trails that allow you to explore the surrounding area. The trails are suitable for the entire family.

Hours vary, so call ahead if you plan on visiting.
