Dismal Falls in Bland County near Blacksburg Virginia Tech Area

Dismal Falls - Bland County Virginia

Description: This recreational attraction is more of a natural swimming destination rather than a hike (which equates to a short walk down the trail and through the woods). The multi-level falls are at most 15 feet tall and there are many slow moving water spots or pools to relax in. Some locals call it the Bland County Country Club for good reason!
