Things to do
From beer to bird watching, Damascus offers it all
If you're still not done with the great outdoors, visit Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, a 154,000-acre green space dotted with forests, mountains, and more than 500 miles of hiking trails. The preserve also offers opportunities for picnicking, bird watching, cross-country skiing, and swimming. For a more laid-back vibe, make your way to the Damascus Brewery and sample a variety of brews while listening to live music. Hoping to find some culture near your Damascus vacation rental? The renowned Barter Theatre, just 20 minutes away in nearby Abingdon, stages live shows throughout most of the year.
Activities
Looks like it's time to be hitting the old dusty trail…
Aptly known as Trail Town USA, Damascus is home to trails of all shapes and sizes for hiking, jogging, horseback riding and cycling. Outdoor excursions are celebrated each year at the Trail Days Festival, a 3-day event in May with live music, food, local vendors and, of course, hiking. If you prefer some splash in your adventures, area waterways offer opportunities for kayaking and fishing, or you can rent a pontoon boat at South Holston Lake, just a 35-minute drive from your Damascus vacation rental. For a slower pace, explore the quaint antique shops of downtown Damascus.
Weather
Snowfall, sunshine, showers, and everything in between
Winter is coming—it's time to bundle up! Daytime temperatures in the winter usually measure around the 40s and evenings can dip way below freezing. And while you can expect snow from December through March, it sometimes falls as early as November and as late as April. Things start to warm up in the spring with highs in the 60s and 70s and by summer, temperatures shoot up to the 80s. June and July are the wettest months in Damascus so bring an umbrella, while fall is the driest season with highs in the 50s and 60s.
Natural features
A watery landscape with plenty of wildlife
Water flows throughout Damascus, with streams, creeks, ponds, and lakes dotting the scenery, as avid fisherman cast their lines, hoping to reel in wild trout. For those that prefer to stay dry, you'll find plenty of trails leading into the mountains, through thick forests and past craggy caves. The surrounding George Washington and Jefferson National Forests feature old growth forests, home to such critters as black bears, white-tailed deer, and beavers. Bird watchers will spot plenty of feathered friends in the pristine countryside, including warblers, hawks, and owls.
