===Natural and outdoor recreation=== [[Image:Cnv0147.jpg|right|thumb|270px|[[High Knob]] Observation Tower]] A large portion of the [[Jefferson National Forest]] is contained within Wise County, and the [[Clinch River]] winds through the county. These two factors, combined with Wise County's location in the [[Appalachian Mountains]], mean that Wise County offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation. In addition to many trails connecting to and surrounding the [[Appalachian Trail]] system, Wise county is home to many parks, including Miners' Park in Big Stone Gap and the Louis E. Henegar Miners' Memorial Park in Appalachia. Among the unique features of Wise County are [[High Knob]], a mountain which featured one of the last remaining Appalachian Fire Towers until its destruction by arson on October 31, 2007,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kilosparksitup.blogspot.com/2007/11/high-knob-tower-burns.html|title=Spark It Up!!!: High Knob Tower Burns|access-date=July 26, 2016|archive-date=October 13, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013054432/http://kilosparksitup.blogspot.com/2007/11/high-knob-tower-burns.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and the Wetlands Estonoa Project, an Appalachian Wetland and part of the Clinch River Watershed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wetlands Estonoa Project |url=https://dwr.virginia.gov/vbwt/sites/wetlands-estonoa/ |website=Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources |access-date=March 11, 2024}}</ref>
