Orange County geography

Orange County is a relatively leveled county with elevation going between 170 and 1200 feet. Even the highest summits, like Clark Mountain and Merry Mountain, don’t go above those heights. There is also Lake Orange, a preferable destination for those who enjoy the shoreline. This is one of the county’s best places for fishing, camping, and hiking. If you are more into boating, swimming, or waterskiing, you can also visit the northern parts of Lake Anna.

Working in Orange County, VA

History and beautiful nature are not the only conveniences of living in Orange County. Many fine places are within driving distance to large industrial cities.
