Flying eagles, vintage passenger trains and historic towns color the beautiful, green South Branch Valley in the Highlands of West Virginia. It’s the land of the Potomac and the place where George Washington slept. It’s a great place to vacation if you appreciate the beauty of the outdoor and our country’s history. The North Fork of the South Branch follows State Route 28/Highland Trace 55 and empties into the South Branch of the Potomac west of Petersburg, county seat of Grant.
