Cherokee Rock Village is a 200 acre County owned park located on Shinebone Ridge west of Leesburg. Enormous sandstone and quartz formations rise to 150 feet and measure 70 feet wide in some areas.
The panoramic view of the valley and beautiful Weiss Lake from the top of the village is breathtaking!
