Awesome example of a star using their talents and abilities to be a great influence on young people. I am sure she had a positive impact on those who spent time with her and learned they also have the power to be awesome and strong in accomplishing their own life choices. I am very proud of how this young lady is mentoring others. Thank you Venus Williams!

This is awesome!!! What a great opportunity for the campers and Ms. Wimmiam's example and role model of how to do things the right way to make such a positive impact on our young adults ❤️

Good for her

That’s awesome. I’ve always loved Venus.

🎾🎾🎾The cool beautiful tranquil waters of the #JacksonRiver brought tennis legend #VenusWilliams to the #alleghanyhighlandsofvirginia, for some much needed relaxation!

Go Venus! Hope you are enjoying the mountains.

Aren’t the Alleghany Highlands fun?

Hope you are having fun. Love this are♥️

Beautiful river. Cool clear water!

We have received a lot of questions this summer about Falling Spring Falls and what is allowed at the property:

It is a scenic overlook - swimming behind the falls or hiking to the bottom is NOT permitted. It can be very dangerous and citations will be issued to anyone behind the fenced area.

The overlook is always open with onsite parking, picnic tables and an information kiosk. We encourage you to visit this beautiful, scenic overlook and enjoy the views - but please do so in a safe manner.

Such beautiful falls! When we were there last week, there were several people that were climbing over the fence off to the side and down at the bottom of the falls. Also, a man was standing on top of the Falls, like in the water by the edge. 😳 Not sure the fences are working too well to prohibit people. The falls are beautiful though, so I see the appeal of wanting to go down and experience them.

One of my favorite spots!

Such a beautiful site

Beautiful

I’ve said for years that the local “powers that be” should work on a way to have visitors be able to safely hike the trail down to the falls. Maybe even have guided tours. This beautiful place could be a real asset to the Alleghany Highlands and bring more visitors to our area.
