The Whistle Stop is a spacious, family friendly place to spend an afternoon. Bring your hotdogs to cook on the grill while the kids splash in the creek, catch crawdads, or play on the child-sized wooden train. Big Stony Creek, a stocked trout stream, runs adjacent to Whistle Stop creating several great places to fish. Large white pine trees provide shade.

Getting there

From Blacksburg, VA: Follow US 406 West for 15 miles. Turn right onto SR 635 and continue for approximately 9 miles. Whistle Stop Picnic Area is on the left.
