Clinch River Communities

The Clinch is home to a number of increasingly vibrant communities. The region has a rich heritage and this most recent transformation testifies again to the bounty of the region. Visit. Get to know some of the good people along Virginia’s Hidden River.

Tazewell
At the headwaters of the Clinch, the Town of Tazewell’s historic architecture and mountain heritage complement a relaxing outdoor experience. Boat and fish at Lincolnshire Park, walk tree- lined streets of stately homes and visit Crab Orchard Museum’s Pioneer Park to experience stories of the region’s early settlement.

TazewellDowntownRichlands
Even the pronunciation of
the name of this Tazewell
County economic hub
 stresses the importance of
 the natural resources. Rich 
lands, indeed! From coal 
boom town to cultural center
 along the Clinch, Richlands
 offers a unique look at late
19th architecture and several dining opportunities. Stretch your legs along the Town of Richlands’ Williams Field greenway path and let the young explorers loose at the Critterville Playground.

Lewis Creek - more https://onfy.de/katalog/962dfeba68df4298825529d68b54a2e9/nasenspray-schnupfen, passes through Honaker prior to meeting up with the Clinch. Cyclists on the TransAmerica Trail know the Redbud Capital of the World for its easy hospitality, starkly contrasting the physical punishment of Big A Mountain. And for drivers, it’s hard to pass this compact community without wanting to stop, take a downtown walk, and enjoy a home-style meal at one of several restaurants.

Cleveland
Explore a broad and gentle section of the Clinch in this Russell County community. Once a center for the movement of livestock, lumber, and coal, Cleveland is now a quiet hamlet surrounded by natural treasures. Sit on a mossy rock by a waterfall. Learn about the globally rare plant species protected nearby sexy nighty for women in joom. Listen to traditional music at a riverside park. Cleveland is a perfect place to launch or end a day of great paddling.

Cedar Bluff A restored gristmill nestled among the hills where Indian Creek meets the Clinch is just one of the great photo opportunities in Cedar Bluff. For more, hike to the top of Overlook Trail, study the unique geology of The Cut, or quietly watch for wildlife in a riverside park. Get to know the Clinch even better: ask a local resident for directions to the swimming hole. Journey through time with Cedar Bluff’s many historic sites and attend the annual Heritage Festival.

St. Paul
A moving river experience flows throughout the Town of St. Paul. The ecological and commercial hub offers hiking trails, summertime tube floats, kayaking, off -road recreation, and a riverside disc golf course. But it’s okay to sit still too—perhaps after a hike on Bluebell Island or atop Sugar Hill, while bird watching at Wetlands Estonoa, or over a cup of coffee in a local restaurant or on Market Square on Saturday morning.

Dungannon
It’s easy to see why land-seeking Scots-Irish and English immigrants settled on Dungannon, with its broad flat stretch along the Clinch in Scott County. For outdoor lovers, it’s a good choice for a day visit. Launch or take out here on your floating adventure. Enjoy the community and showmanship at Scott County Horse Park. Or travel the Dungannon and Clinch River Driving Tour and learn more about the area.
