There is a little place near Woodlawn, VA called Crooked Creek Fish Management Area. I drive by this area every time I go to work in Christiansburg, VA.
Whenever I am looking for a place to expore, I always look at Google maps and pay attention to the green areas(public lands, national forests, parks, etc). Today I did a little exploring for both photography and fishing opportunities. While I think the area leaves a little bit to be desired photography wise, the drive through the dense foggy forest was quite relaxing:)
