Catawba is known as a rural enclave of the Roanoke Valley with its farms, bed and breakfasts, and the Homeplace Restaurant. The Catawba Hospital, a mental health facility operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia, is near Route 311 and traces its history back to a resort established in 1857 to take advantage of the believed healing properties of a sulfur and limestone spring. Route 311 intersects State Route 785, which connects to Blacksburg, and State Route 779, which connects to Daleville, in Catawba.

The Appalachian Trail passes through the Catawba area and provides access to two notable trail landmarks, Dragon's Tooth and McAffee's Knob. The Homeplace Restaurant is a popular eatery for through hikers on the trail.
