Rocky Gap lies where the hills of Southwest Virginia begin to fold and rise, a place of deep green valleys and the constant murmur of water. It lies 38.2 miles west of Blacksburg, VA (from Blacksburg, VA: bearing 272°T), and is situated 6.6 miles east-south-east of Bluefield. The land here is a patchwork of dense forest, the kinds of woods that hold secrets of seasons past, and open fields where cattle graze contentedly under a wide sky. The air carries the clean scent of pine and damp earth, especially after a rain, and the sunlight, when it breaks through the cloud cover, has a soft, diffused quality that softens the sharp edges of the mountains. Small homes, weathered by sun and wind, dot the landscape, their porches often catching the late afternoon light. The history of Rocky Gap is tied to the very earth it rests upon. Coal once fueled its economy, the remnants of that era still visible in abandoned mine openings and the quiet determination of a people who understand hard work. Now, the focus has shifted, with the burgeoning tourism around the state park bringing a different kind of life. The namesake gap itself, a natural passage through the mountains, has been a route for travelers for generations, a place where the land offers passage. The waters of the lake, a popular draw, reflect the surrounding peaks, a mirror to the enduring beauty of this corner of Virginia.
