Shenandoah River, Virginia
The Shenandoah River VA is a major tributary of the Potomac River and it flows approximately 150 miles through Virginia and West Virginia, creating some stunning spots and scenery. Flowing northeast of the city of Front Royal VA, the Shenandoah River VA passes under I-66 in several sections and meanders through many different counties in the Virginia Mountain region. Featuring many scenic areas to enjoy not only fishing, but tubing, canoeing, kayaking and so much more, the Shenandoah River is a popular river to enjoy while staying in our Virginia Cabin Rentals Luray.
Flowing in a peculiar northwardly fashion, the Shenandoah River VA forms a South Fork at Port Republic in Rockingham County near the confluence of the North River and South River. It follows a very tight course all the way through the Page Valley and the town of Shenandoah Virginia. The North Fork of the Shenandoah originates in Rockingham County in the pristine George Washington National Forest and flows down from the mountains and then across Shenandoah County near the western side of Massanutten Ridge. The greater body of water known as the Shenandoah River is formed at the confluence of these two forks just northeast of Front Royal Virginia.
The Shenandoah River VA is just one of the many natural features of the Shenandoah Valley that make it such a special place to enjoy Virginia Mini Vacations and Virginia Getaway Vacations. It creates wonderful spots to enjoy Shenandoah River Fishing and Shenandoah River Tubing.

Special birds like barred owls, Carolina chickadees, Red-tailed hawks, and wild turkeys also call the park home. A group of Peregrine falcons were reintroduced to the Shenandoah National Park, VA, because the wilderness provided the perfect protected lands for the falcons to thrive.
