Blacksburg is located in the New River Valley and surrounded by natural beauty. The Valley runs parallel with the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are to the south, and the Appalachian Mountains situated to the north while the nation's oldest river, the New River, stretches across this fertile land. Several of the most beautiful hikes on the Appalachian Trail are within easy driving distance.
