Alleghany County

Alleghany County NC is a splendid outdoor paradise filled with tons of great protected areas where you can enjoy your favorite activities. It has the distinction of being the location where construction first began on the monumental scenic byway, the Blue Ridge Parkway. In 1935, President Roosevelt authorized numerous programs and Congress passed federal work programs aimed to jumpstart the economy and put men back to work. The Blue Ridge Parkway, originally called the "Appalachian Scenic Highway" was one such project and work began at Cumberland Knob just near the Virginia line in Alleghany County. Cumberland Knob, at Milepost 217.5, on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Alleghany County NC is the northernmost visitor center in the state.

Visitors to the Blue Ridge Parkway can enjoy its many trails and outdoor amenities such as plenty of paved roads for cycling, miles and miles of fishing streams and numerous pull-offs for picture taking and awe-inspiring moments spent looking out at the horizon. In addition to being the location where the Civilian Conservation Corps began on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Alleghany County has other parkway attractions and famous stops like Doughton Park found at Mileposts 238.5- 244.7. Here you can explore the restored 19th century Brinegar Cabin, home of Martin Brinegar and his wife, and see hand weaving demonstrations. Explore the more than seven thousand acres at the park and hike on the miles and miles of trails here.

State Parks

Alleghany CountyAlleghany County NC is home to lands in two state parks, Stone Mountain State Park NC, located near Roaring Gap NC, and New River State Park NC which is only accessible in Alleghany County NC by canoe. There are primitive campsites located along the New River in Alleghany County. Many put it at the Wagoner Road access outside of the county and drift, fish and swim to the New River State Park Alleghany Access area where camping and toilets are available. Named by early cartographer Edward Bland, who on a trip from England noticed the river and noted that it had not been placed on previous maps of the area, the New River's name might give one the impression that it is young, or even man-made. Actually the New River NC, which flows through portions of Alleghany County NC is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world; it has an unusual flow and is the only river in the eastern United States that flows northward to the mid-west instead of towards the Atlantic Ocean as the others do. In 1998 President Clinton and Vice-President Al Gore visited here and named the river an American Heritage River; it is a very popular fishing stream for trout and bass fishermen. Many people like to purchase Western North Carolina Mountain Property in Alleghany County near the New River to use for a New River Retreat or to build vacation New River Homes for investments and other projects.

Stone Mountain State Park NC is a huge outdoor area that is very popular with climbers, photographers and outdoor enthusiasts. Sprawling through Alleghany and Wilkes Counties, Stone Mountain Park NC is named for its magnificent centerpiece, a 600-foot granite dome located approximately seven miles southwest of Roaring Gap NC. People visit here to hike around the massive monolith, snap pictures of its extraordinary face and fish in the more than 17 miles of designated trout waters. Stone Mountain State Park NC was established as a National Natural Landmark in 1975 and is bordered to the north by the Blue Ridge Parkway and to the west by the Thurmond Chatham Game Lands.
