Cornhole central

Right on the river in Fries, this spot is exactly what it sounds like — a place to throw bags and not take life too seriously. The New River Trail runs nearby, so you can get your steps in before settling in for a few rounds with the family. It’s the kind of low-key hangout that fits Fries perfectly, a small town that doesn’t need much fuss to have a good time. Grab food from somewhere close and make an afternoon of it.
