シェナンドー郡のおすすめランニングルート

This rocky viewpoint overlooks the gorge carved by Overall Run, with a fantastic view of Shenandoah’s tallest waterfall. On clear days, you can see across the Shenandoah Valley all the way to Massanutten Mountain. It’s the kind of view that makes you stop and stay awhile, even if you hadn’t planned to.

The overlook near Jawbone Gap is a short detour off the Massanutten Trail and gives you awesome views of Page Valley and the nearby peaks. It’s one of the best viewpoints on this section of the trail, and a quiet rocky spot that's great for a break or just hanging out for a bit with a view.

As you hike through the George Washington National Forest along the Massanutten Trail, you’ll pass through rich habitats filled with wildlife. In late spring, mountain laurel and rhododendron bloom along the trail, and in fall, the hardwood forests turn brilliant shades of red and gold.

This campsite sits close to the banks of Big Run River, just before the steep climb to Waterfall Mountain. If you're hiking the Massanutten Trail, you can either camp here or continue up to the campsite on top of the mountain. Since there’s no water up there, you'll need to carry it from the river.

This campsite sits on top of Waterfall Mountain, close to the road, making it a good place to resupply if you're hiking the Massanutten Trail. It has room for five or six tents, but there is no reliable water source. If you're planning to camp here, you should carry water from the Big Run River campsite or cache water in advance for resupply.

Buzzard Rock Overlook sits just a few miles from Fort Valley Overlook, offering a strategic view of Buzzard Rock and the Shenandoah Valley. It’s a rocky stretch of trail and can be tougher if you're heading uphill. For those going downhill, watch your footing and take time to enjoy the sweeping views.

Fort Valley Overlook is a standout viewpoint along the Massanutten Trail, sitting just past the halfway mark. It’s a great excuse to take a break and enjoy wide views of the valley below before pushing on.

Strasburg Reservoir is a small but picturesque lake, with paths on both sides. It’s located near Old Strasburg Reservoir Road and the Massanutten Trail, offering a different experience from the higher-elevation sections of the loop. It’s a great spot to refill water and a peaceful place to camp. A small campsite near the dam is quiet, tucked away, and close to a reliable spring.
