Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer at the First Peak. Things are a little quieter around here in August, which leaves you plenty of time to visit waterfalls, tour a plantation home, and taste local wines. Or just lounge on a fabulous porch of one of our historic B&Bs to read a book or nap. Things pick up in September, so take advantage of this lovely lull!

Cool Water Adventures for a Hot Summer Day
 Yep - it's hot! Make a plan to cool yourself off with one of our wonderful water attractions.
Take an easy walk through the shady glen to Pearson's Falls. The temperature drops as soon as you hit the trail. Take a picnic with you, or a great book, and spend time next to the 90-foot waterfall. The mist and the sound of the rushing water are sure to refresh you.
Have you been tubing on the Green River? Bring the family to float lazily through light rapids. Choose a half or full-river float trip in the cool water. Or if you're up for more adventure, book a guided inflatable kayaking trip with Green River Adventures - choose from beginner trips and ones for adventure seekers. Have fun! Read More...
