Experienced guides are on hand to keep you safe. At Salamander Adventures in Middleburg, on the property of Salamander Middleburg, you can zipline past towering trees and enjoy stunning forest views on a thrilling five-stage course.

GOLF
Loudoun loves its links. Algonkian Golf Course – 18 holes of immaculately maintained Bermuda grass fairways close to the Potomac River – is one of the finest public courses in Virginia. The Gary Player-designed Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club takes players past bubbling streams and on stone-walled lanes, while the 45 holes at Lansdowne Resort include championship courses by Robert Trent Jones and Greg Norman. Upscale 1757 Golf Club in Ashburn has a private course and a public state-of-the-art driving range.
PRO SOCCER ACTION
Take a break from active adventures and let the soccer stars of Loudoun United provide the thrills. Based out of Leesburg’s 5,000-seat Segra Field stadium, the team is comprised of U.S. and international stars and plays in the second-division United Soccer League (USL) Championship. Home games are often themed, and you’ll always find live music, a beer tent and food stands on site.
