Top 10 Bodies of Water in Virginia, United States
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

The park belongs to the Army Corps of Engineers which makes the campground excellent place at a very affordable price for camping.

This river running right through downtown Richmond offers sightseeing rides on an antique paddlewheel steamer or on a raft with a trained guide, as well as wading, fishing, rafting, kayaking or simply relaxing on the river banks and gazing out at the city.

We drove downtown and parked at a nice parking garage that was just a short walk from the entrance to the trail. Absolutely beautiful areas to sit by the river, in the sun or shade. The river was enjoyed by a few in our group. The walk down the trail has awesome views and made for a perfect day. Parts of the trail have no rails and you are walking on a concrete covered pipeline. Everyone we met was courteous to stop as you squeeze past each other.(not very wide). The only other issue is to get down to the trail, at least at that end of the trail, you have to climb down a wire rung ladder, which could make it difficult for older folks or really young children.

105-mile Scenic Drive Built In The 1930's Goes Through The Entire Length Of The Park.
Reviewed By ITRT
We entered Shenandoah National Park at the Front Royal Entrance and departed via the Thornton Gap Entrance, a distance of about 32 miles of the 105-mile Skyline Drive that runs through the park. Shenandoah offers many scenic overlooks, camp grounds, trailheads for the beginner as well as the experienced hiker, visitor centers, restrooms and souvenir shops near the entrances, and the Appalachian Trail runs through the park. Scenic overlooks line the Skyline Drive. The Park is mostly forest-covered hills and mountains with wide valleys and some waterfalls. The flowers add to the beauty of the Skyline Drive. The speed limit is 35 mph on the two-lane road that is also shared with bicyclists. We arrived mid-morning and were glad we did as there was a back-up of cars waiting to enter via the Thornton Gap Entrance. It was a beautiful and enjoyable day.
