Why go there?

This beautiful 10.5 mile strip of the Bluestone River, tucked into the southern Appalachian Mountains, was once home to several Native American tribes, including the Delaware, Cherokee and Shawnee. Today it boasts over a thousand species of plants, two hundred species of birds and prime habitat for mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
