From the Journal

  • Warren County, VA: Fall Rivers, Trails & a Taproom

    October in Warren County means river bluffs turning color at Shenandoah River State Park's 5.2 miles of South Fork shoreline, a quiet put-in at Shenandoah River Park and Landing, and a mill-building dinner to close the day.

  • Fall Paddling on the Shenandoah's South Fork

    Cooler water and thinning crowds make September and October a quietly excellent stretch for paddling the South Fork Shenandoah, from Shenandoah River State Park's 5.2 miles of shoreline to the rough public ramp at Karo Landing.

  • Fall in Front Royal: Rivers, Ridges & Gardens

    With river water low and clear and cooler weather setting in, early fall is a fine window to see Warren County slowly — from the South Fork Shenandoah's 5.2 miles of park shoreline to a quiet botanical garden downtown. As with any lesser-trafficked local spot, it's worth confirming hours before you go.
