My kids love the idea of going on a picnic, and I love the idea of all the crumbs being left outside for the ants to find. So we pack up what seems like half of our refrigerator a few times a year and head out to one of our favorite spots.
Who knew Roanoke had so many great picnic spots to choose from. Ok, you all apparently did! Here is a round-up of YOUR favorite spots to drop a blanket, pull out some delish treats and get your picnic on with your kids.
- Johnson's Orchard/Peaks of Otter Winery
- Carvin's Cove
- Community Beach at SML
- Green Hill Park in West Salem- they can splash in the water, bike, and hike the small trails
- SML State Park
- Mill Mountain Park
- The Duck Pond in Salem, VA
- Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway
- Roaring Run Waterfalls
- Loch Haven Lake Club
- Explore Park
Have a great time on your picnic adventure, and remember ... don't forget the napkins!
