Virginia's Explore Park, County park in Roanoke County, United States.
The 1,100-acre recreational facility extends across rolling hills and woodlands, featuring river frontage along the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 115.
The Virginia General Assembly established the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority in 1985, leading to the acquisition of parkland in 1988 with state funding.
Twenty relocated buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, including Mountain Union Church and Brugh Tavern, represent regional architectural traditions.
Visitors can access the park through the Blue Ridge Parkway, with overnight accommodations available in cabins, yurts, and primitive camping sites.
The Tree Top Quest aerial adventure course provides zip-lines and challenge obstacles suitable for participants starting from age four.
