What to Do

We recommend a book . . . get yours.

Or, here are some of our summertime favorites:

• Floating, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, etc. on one of our rivers (we like the Rivanna and the James)
• Spending time in Shenandoah National Park (hike and swim!)
• Visiting the lavender fields near Harrisonburg
• Dining outdoors on the Downtown Mall

Of course, if you’ve never visited Charlottesville before, we recommend hitting the historical highlights of Monticello, Montpelier, and Ash-Lawn Highland.
