Areal view of the highest point on the course, High Knob Mountain. |
High Knob is one of Appalachia’s most vast mountain ranges, measuring more than 13 miles wide from base to base and over 26 miles long – it stretches across portions of southern Wise County, northern Scott County and the northeastern tip of Lee County. Because of its massive width and size, High Knob is home to one of the greatest concentrations of deep mountain gorges, extreme whitewater streams and high mountain lakes in Virginia and in all of the southern Appalachians. The High Knob region contains the greatest number of significant caves in Virginia with the deepest cave in North America east of the Rockies and north of Mexico. It has the most water bodies of any mountain within the central and southern Appalachian mountains – seven man made lakes are found upon its mass. This enormous isolated landform straddles two climactic zones.
