Marion

Nestled between picturesque peaks is Marion, a small charming town. Right on the Crooked Road Heritage Trail, its roots in music makes it home to the Lincoln Theatre which showcases the tv program “Song of the Mountains”. Drop in on one of their live concerts and experience first hand the unique traditional and contemporary styles of old-time and bluegrass music. Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Marion is Hungry Mother State Park, where visitors can enjoy its sandy banks and easily accessible fishing piers. Seasonal activities include the Mountain Do Triathlon for the adventurous, and the Arts and Crafts Festival for the art lovers. Adventures on two wheels are specially popular. Whether you prefer the excitement of the curving open road by motorcycle on the Back of the Dragon Trail, or slowly through the scenic Virginia Creeper Trail by bicycle, there’s a riding adventure waiting for you.
