Summertime in the Shenandoah

Summer in Front Royal

Ahhh 'Sum, sum, summertime' in the Shenandoah! Nothing quite like the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the summer with its rich, lush foliage offering endless outdoor recreation and fun! Whether you're photographing the Virginia waterfalls or playing in them, you surely won't forget them. Canoe or kayak on the Shenandoah River or even better, gather your friends and tube the afternoon away. Our hiking trails and mountain bike paths welcome old friends and new travelers. For the less adventurous, pack a picnic and take a leisurely journey on Skyline Drive and stop at the overlooks along the way. Connecting with nature is exactly what is needed after a very different summer 2020. Nothing is lacking for outdoor and nature lovers!

Make your visit complete by spending time off the beaten path in Front Royal, the quaint Virginia town that is the northern gateway to Skyline Drive. Visit our historic downtown and stroll our Main Street. You'll find beautiful hanging flower baskets, amazing murals, and experience the best in food, craft beverages, and wholesome entertainment. Take a bit of the Front Royal and the Shenandoah with you from one of several unique shops featuring local artisan designs, souvenirs, and much more!

Be sure to visit this page often for upcoming events in Warren County and the Shenandoah. We have kids activities and worksheets to download, informative blogs posts, event features, and more!

Come and Discover Front Royal in all its summer glory!
