Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Guests can take a stroll through the Chessie Nature Trail, a 7-mile path that connects Lexington to Buena Vista, VA. Originally part of the C & O railway system, the old railbed and Maury River guide visitors along the path as it winds through farmland, forests, and open fields. At one point, the railroad bridge was removed, so hikers need to take a small detour from the trail to cross the river. The Virginia Military Institute often uses the trail for practice marches and a 5K puts marathoners on the trail annually. Along with people, hikers can see everything from minks to bald eagles. At the Buena Vista trailhead, guests find great fishing waters, including trout and bass.
