Where the Waterfalls Are
Lebanon sits in or near the Southwest Virginia and the Southern Blue Ridge area of Virginia. Southwest Virginia combines Appalachian Plateau sandstone with the high southern Blue Ridge. Tank Hollow Falls in Russell County spills in a wide, lacy sheet over sandstone ledges near Cleveland, and Abrams Falls in neighboring Washington County, in the ridges near the Tennessee line, is another local favorite. Scott County adds one more fall in this rugged corner of the state. To the east, Patrick, Floyd, Franklin and Grayson counties sit on the Blue Ridge plateau, where streams fall off the eastern escarpment toward the Piedmont. Patrick County, near Stuart, holds three listed falls, and Grayson County lies near Mount Rogers, the state's highest point. Read the Virginia waterfall guide.
