Kayaking in Bath County is the perfect way to slow down and soak up the beauty of Lake Moomaw. Think slow, soulful drifting, cool mountain air, and views that make you forget the to-do list.

THE 611 IS RETURNING TO THE AREA: Two years ago many of our visitors enjoyed the proximity of BATH COUNTY to Victoria Station in Goshen, VA to experience the Fall excursions operated by Virginia Scenic Railway with the famed
Norfolk & Western Class J No. 611 steam locomotive.

The 1950 Norfolk & Western Class J No. 611 is the sole surviving Class J 4-8-4 steam locomotive. After entering service in 1950, it transported passengers until it was retired in 1959. The 611 is owned and operated by Virginia Museum of Transportation as a traveling exhibit. The 611 is the official Steam Locomotive of the State of Virginia, a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places - NPS.

Starting on September 26, 2025 the Virginia Scenic Railway will operate the steam-led passenger excursion as the Shenandoah Valley Limited for five consecutive weekends. Tickets are expected to be available for purchase later this summer through Virginia Scenic Railway’s website.

This is a joint venture between the Virginia Scenic Railway, the Virginia Museum of Transportation Inc., the Steam Railroading Institute, and the Virginia Mechanical Preservation Society.
