MILLBORO, Va. – Blue Suck Falls is a 6 mile out and back trail located in Douthat State Park. There’s lots of hikes to do at Douthat, but we chose Blue Suck Falls that is about 3 miles to the top and includes the hiking double whammy- a waterfall and a nice view. Along the sound of the stream, you’ll start a small incline as you head to the falls. Two miles into the trail you’ll arrive at Lookout Rock. It was truly at this moment when I was wondering why I was doing a six mile hike in 90 degree weather.
