Blowing Springs

## Overview

Blue Springs Gap Cabin is located high on a mountaintop near Camp, Virginia,
giving visitors the feeling of being on top of the world. The space has three
comfortable bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room. Electricity and flush
toilet add modern comfort to this rustic mountain setting.  
  
  
  
Accessible hiking and biking trails pass near the cabin and Hale Lake is just
2 miles away, providing combined opportunities for bird watching, hiking,
biking, fishing and picnicking.

## Recreation

The Mount Rogers National Recreation Area features four Congressionally
designated wilderness areas; the Virginia Creeper Trail; the Mount Rogers
Scenic Byway; the 5,000 acre Crest Zone, featuring elevations over 4,000 feet,
large rock formations and a herd of wild, free-ranging ponies; and last but
not least, the highest elevated road in the state of Virginia leading to the
summit of Whitetop Mountain.  
  
  
  
A trout stream is located nearby and Hale Lake is about 2 miles away. Hale
Lake is popular among anglers who come to these quiet mountainside waters in
search of a good day of fishing. State hunting and fishing regulations and
licensing requirements apply.  
  
  
The Hale Lake Trail, 0.58-mile loop trail is an easy hike around that lake,
occasionally veering away from the shoreline and into the surrounding hardwood
forests. Birders will probably find this site most productive during
migration.  
  
  
  
In spring, it should be easy to spot several species of warblers and
flycatchers. In fall, the lake is likely to invite migrating waterfowl and
shorebirds. Wood duck breed in the area and can occasionally be seen on the
lake. White-tailed deer and wild turkey roam through the surrounding
woodlands, and might be found approaching the lake to quench a thirst.

## Natural Features

The nearby Guest River Gorge is full of scenic beauty, native flora and fauna,
as well as historic features. The Guest River Gorge can easily be explored by
hiking or biking a 5.8-mile trail built upon an old railroad grade. The trail
follows the Guest River as it meanders through 8 branches and creeks and
terminates at the Guest River's confluence with the Clinch River. The first
0.3-miles is handicap accessible. This scenic trail passes through riparian
forest, 300-million year old cliff lines and sandstone outcrops, and remnants
of the railway that once ran through this region to haul locally-mined coal
and saltpeter. An abundance of wildlife is easily viewable along this trail.
Migratory birds such as flycatchers, several species of warblers and tanagers
can be found during the summer. The Guest River Gorge is an easy way to
explore the rugged beauty of this mountainous area. Little Stony Creek flows
through a 400-ft deep and 1,700-ft wide gorge. Large rock outcrops, ledges,
and boulders add to the scenery along the creek. Hardwood and hemlock forest
cover much of this area. Mountain laurel and rhododendron thickets lace the
edges of these trails in many areas, as well. A popular destination on the
district is Little Stony Falls, a 24-foot waterfall, along with two smaller
waterfalls. The falls can be seen from walking the Little Stony National
Recreation Trail. The trail is a 2.8-mile trail which goes from an upper
trailhead (near the falls) and a lower trailhead at Hanging Rock Picnic Area.
In some areas of the trail, hikers will need to climb around/over boulders and
large rocks to remain on the trail. Sightseers, hikers and birdwatchers will
all equally enjoy a visit to this area. Be sure to check with the local Ranger
Station for trail conditions. Storm events and hazards may result in trails
being closed.
