The City of Bedford is located in southwestern part of the state of Virginia, between the cities of Roanoke, to the West, and Lynchburg, to the East.

Washington National Monument, Elk's National Home, Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest,and Smith Mountain Lake.

Discover the Peaks of Otter Milepost 85

The Peaks of Otter is formed by three mountains positioned in a triangular pattern - Sharp Top Mountain (3,875 feet), Flat Top Mountain (4,001 feet), and Harkening Hill (3,372 feet). A beautiful mountain lake rests at the triangle's center. The Blue Ridge Parkway passes through mountain passes and intersects with Virginia highway 43 at mile marker 85.9. The Appalachian Trail passes only a few miles to the North and can be easily accessed via the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Peaks of Otter wilderness area is truly one of the Blue Ridge Mountain's best-kept secrets.
