Shenandoah National Park & Blue Ridge Parkway

Just a short drive away from Charlottesville and Albemarle County, nestled among the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, visitors will find the Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The park holds more than 500 miles of trails, including 100+ miles of the Appalachian Trail. Many animals, including deer, and black bears flourish among the rich growth of an oak-hickory forest. Wildflowers bloom along the Skyline Drive and trails in the spring and in the fall, vibrant foliage transforms the landscape. Camping, horseback riding, cottages, and lodging are available at different locations throughout the park. There is a fee for admission to the park and pricing information can be found on the Shenandoah National Park website.

A short drive from Downtown Charlottesville, the northern terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway meets the southern terminus of the Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive. The parkway is a free, scenic roadway that continues south into North Carolina for hundreds of miles.
