A view of Elkhorn Lake from a kayaker's perspective.

Day 1: Arrive at Meadowlark Ridge Bed and Breakfast to a warm welcome. After settling in to your room and exploring the house, set off for a short but beautiful drive to Elkhorn Lake in the George Washington National Forest.

After an amazing and fulfilling breakfast, head over to Natural Chimneys Park. Hike the trail to the top for a different perspective of the valley and the top of the limestone chimneys. Be sure to check out the Civil War era Jousting arena at the base.
