State Parks and Recreation Areas
Shenandoah National Park lies in Virginia in the
Blue Ridge Mountains between Pennsylvania and Georgia. Skyline Drive, a
105-mile road that winds along the crest of the mountains through the
length of the park, provides vistas of the spectacular landscape to east
and west. The park holds more than 500 miles of trails, including 101
miles of the Appalachian Trail. Trails may follow a ridge crest, or they
may lead to high places with panoramic views or to waterfalls in deep
canyons. Many animals, including deer, black bears, and wild turkeys,
flourish among the rich growth of an oak-hickory forest. In season, bushes
and wildflowers bloom along the Drive and trails and fill the open spaces. Click on
