One of the latest additions to the State Park system Sweet Run was originally farm land, which was then donated to a local group who managed it as the Blue Ridge Center for the outdoors. Today there are miles of trails, a pond to enjoy, birds to watch, and much more.
Website as of 2024:
The park is currently under development. It features expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sweet Run and Piney Run streams bisect the property. The property includes eleven miles of hiking and nine miles of equestrian trails along streams, through mature forest, meadows and mountain-side terrain, and has a picnic pavilion and nature play area for children. Parking is limited. The property is steeped in history, featuring the ruins of a 19th century farming community. It also has a restored farmhouse built in the 1840s.
