About Goshen

Tucked into the western hills of Rockbridge County, Goshen is a quiet mountain community framed by the Calfpasture River and George Washington National Forest. With around 340 residents, it offers a peaceful rural setting with easy access to outdoor recreation, including swimming and paddling through the rocky gorge at nearby Goshen Pass. During the summer, the area gets a lively seasonal boost when campers and staff arrive at the Goshen Scout Reservation on Lake Merriweather.

Life here centers around the outdoors, scenic mountain drives, and a close-knit neighborhood feel. While local services within town are limited, larger hubs like Lexington and Staunton are an easy drive away for grocery runs, restaurants, and medical care. If you are looking to relocate to a secluded corner of Virginia where you can enjoy wide-open spaces and an unhurried pace, Goshen is well worth a look.
