If you are a fisherman or woman, Helton Creek is one of a kind. During the winter, it is strictly catch and release. During the summer months, you can keep what you catch and put them on the grill on the back porch. Helton Creekside is close to the Grayson Highlands park system in Virginia. This park offers miles of hiking or biking trails. The world famous New River offers small mouth bass fishing as well as canoeing. For the skiing enthusiast, nearby Banner Elk and Beech Mountain offer all of the winter sports. Downtown West Jefferson is quickly becoming a destination for tourist visiting our many art galleries and restaurants. A good first stop would be the Ashe County Chamber of Commerce.
