AREA ATTRACTIONS
Warm Springs Pools
Guests may once again “take the waters” at the historic Warm Springs Pools, part of The Omni Homestead Resort. The bathhouses reopened following the completion of a 14-month, $4 million rehabilitation by Lionberger Construction of Roanoke, Virginia. The Richmond-based architectural firm 3North used the comprehensive 2016 Historic Structures Report as a guide to preserve these iconic structures, while working closely with Omni Hotels & Resorts and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
Troddenvale at Oakley Farm
Troddenvale produces transparency-driven cider of origin with limited to no alterations. We believe complex cider with aromatics and body can be achieved by showcasing the land and fruit from Virginia, our home.
Troddenvale roughly translates to the “valley road” and is inspired by a lengthy history of visitors traveling to the cradle of Virginia’s great springs region, the Warm Springs Valley. Although this elevated valley remains sparsely populated, its roads are heavily worn by those who have come here seeking its healing waters.

Bull Mountain Guide Services
Lake Moomaw
Lake Moomaw is known for its trout fishery. A layer of cold, oxygenated water lies 15 feet below the surface. It is in this zone that stocked rainbow, brown, and brook trout thrive. Alewives, members of the herring family, were stocked in the early 1980s in order to establish a plentiful food base for both trout and other predators. These small, silvery fish are truly the "backbone" of the lake's sport fishery. The Bath County access offers a marina, camping, and beach swimming.
Douthat State Park
A traditional family park since 1936, Douthat is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for the role its design played in the development of parks nationwide.
