The Northern Shenandoah Valley is surrounded by national forests and crisscrossed with trails that invite year-round exploration. George Washington and Jefferson National Forests provide miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding routes through rugged mountain landscapes, while the Appalachian Trail winds along the Blue Ridge offering unforgettable views. Local greenways, river walks, and community trails make it easy to step outside and enjoy the outdoors no matter where you live in the Valley.
