シェナンドー郡のおすすめグラベルライド

Woodstock is nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley along the scenic “Seven Bends” of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Established by charter in 1761 and sponsored by George Washington, it’s home to the oldest working courthouse west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Today, Woodstock is a hub for outdoor recreation, and Main Street is filled with plenty of shops, galleries, breweries, restaurants, and cafes, perfect for a stop to spend some time enjoying this small, charming town.

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.

A short detour from the Massanutten Trail leads to Woodstock Tower, perched at 2,000 feet on Powell Mountain. This historic fire tower offers sweeping 360° views of the Shenandoah Valley, including the winding bends of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River to the west and the ridges of Massanutten Mountain to the east. For those hiking the Massanutten Trail, it’s an excellent spot for a break, enjoy the views and take your time to appreciate. Note that the area can be busy on weekends.

Nice and flat gravel road along the ridge with some great views

Well packed / maintained beautiful gravel road

Steep climb over approx .5 mi on sometimes loose gravel. Incline >10%

Single trail along Lake Laura. Very technical to ride on gravel bike with tree roots and sharp rocks. MTB better suited.

Lake Laura invites you to enjoy serenity, with a grassy beach, swimming, boating, fishing, and a 3-mile hiking trail. The year-round nature trail, suitable for all ages, offers a delightful two-hour hike.
