Stokes County's Foothills Snorkel Trail is drawing visitors from well beyond the county line to float face-down over the rocky beds of Indian Creek, Mill Creek and the Dan River, with a primary access point at Flinchum Road in Danbury.
Tory Mabe, the county's director of economic development and tourism, said the trail was built around a simple idea: the streams here are shallow, clear and cold enough to see the bottom, which makes them ideal for snorkeling without any dive training. Visitors wear a mask and snorkel and drift with the current, looking for crayfish, minnows and the occasional hellbender.
Regulars include Linda, 63, of Rockingham County, who said she comes back for the quiet; LuEllen of King; Christina of Westfield; Kyle Dalton of Stokes County; and Cassidy, 23, of Madison. The trail runs year-round, though the county recommends summer and early fall for water clarity and temperature. Trail maps and access details are posted through Stokes County tourism.
