About Meadows of Dan

Meadows of Dan Gateway Sign

Meadows of Dan, a special place to be

  Small community charm in a rural setting, one step away from Paradise, Meadows of Dan is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 178, just at the intersection of Business Route 58 with the Parkway.   Friends find their way from many directions; Meadows of Dan is close to Interstate 77 or Interstate 81; near Roanoke, Martinsville and Mount Airy, yet far enough away from cities and towns to have a unique character and special beauty only seen in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

Mabry Mill, Blue Ridge Parkway, Meadows of Dan, Virginia

Mabry Mill, one mile north on the Parkway from Meadows of Dan

 "The mountain", as Meadows of Dan is locally known, has been settled for generations, since before 1800.  New roads, especially the Blue Ridge Parkway, have opened the area for easy access for tourism and there are many exciting activities available.  Visiting Mabry's Mill, just up the Parkway at Milepost 179, is a favorite trip for thousands of people each year.  Walking the mountain arts trails at the mill is like walking back through time to the way things used to be on the mountain, as people made their living the old-fashioned way by grinding their own corn, making their own shoes, and creating their own tools.  Further up the Parkway are many hiking trails for long, vigorous hikes or just for walks in the peaceful mountains.  Fishing, hunting, camping, or just driving around delighting in the beauty of the mountains can all be enjoyed in the hills around Meadows of Dan.
