The Channels Natural Area Preserve is a 721-acre (2.92 km2) Natural Area Preserve located in Washington and Russell counties, Virginia. It was established in April 2008 to protect a number of significant natural communities and habitats, including high-elevation forests, rock outcrops, and cliffs.
The preserve's name derives from the eroded crevices and sandstone boulders clustered on a portion of the land.[1]
The preserve is part of the Channels State Forest, managed by the Virginia Department of Forestry.[1] The state forest and preserve are both open to the public, though an access permit is required for some activities on state forest lands.[2]
