Directions to Veldon Dotson Recreation Park
5791 Airport Road
Wise, VA 24293
Located near Lonesome Pine Airport
There are basically 3 routes to Wise
1. If you type this address into Google maps, it will probably send you up Tacoma Mountain Road (Route 706), which is shorter but extremely curvy.
2. You can choose to go through Coeburn and up Wise Mountain Road (Route 646), about a minute longer than the first route, it is also extremely curvy but not as much as the first route.
3. I would recommend the following route even though it's longer (10-15 minutes) but it is not curvy like the other 2 routes:
1. From Abingdon take route 19N
2. At Hansonville take a left onto route 58 Alt West toward Norton.
3. After 35 miles you will approach Norton and take a right toward Wise onto 23 North.
4. After 2.4 miles (at the 2nd red light, you will see McDonalds) you will take a right toward Wise (Lonesome Pine Airport) onto Norton Road (Business 23 N)
5. At the next red light (1.3 miles) you will take a right on E Main Street (640 N)
6. After .4 miles you will take a slight left onto Park Avenue
7. At the red light, you will take a right onto Darden Drive, Coeburn Mountain Road, Route 646 toward UVA Wise and the Airport
8. After 2 miles (will drive past UVA Wise on the left) you will take a left onto Route 723 Airport Road toward the Airport and Dotson Park.
9. After 1 mile you will turn left into Veldon Dotson Recreation Park
