One of the reasons why the Roanoke Valley of Virginia is the natural place to visit is its spectacular natural beauty. Take a step outdoors and enjoy hiking the Appalachian Trail, biking on the Blue Ridge Parkway or an array of water sports on the Smith Mountain Lake.
For the more competitive types, golf and tennis opportunities abound across the Valley. All of the Valley’s golf courses offer challenging layouts for all levels of golfers and the scenic views will make your golf memories in the Roanoke Valley unforgettable.
There is action in every season for the sports fans. Don’t miss Salem Red Sox Baseball (April - September), or NCAA college championship games for baseball, basketball and softball. Please check out the calendar of events for specific dates and a complete list of sporting events.
