Luray & Page County DESTINATION GUIDE Visit LURAY & PAGE COUNTY VIRGINIA Virginia’s Home to the Shenandoah National Park WELCOME Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center Page County is nestled between the Blue Ridge and Massanutten Mountains in a portion of the Shenandoah Valley known as the Page Valley. The County is comprised of the three towns of Luray, Stanley, and Shenandoah, each with its own downtown, boutique shops, mom-and-pop restaurants, and outdoor recreation.

Effective June 1, 2018 the park entrance fee will be $30 per vehicle, $25 per motorcycle and $15 per person. These fees are good for 7 days. An annual park pass will cost $55. In October 2017, the NPS proposed a plan to adopt seasonal pricing at Shenandoah and 16 other national parks to raise additional revenue for infrastructure and maintenance needs. The fee structure announced today addresses many concerns and ideas provided by the public on how best to address fee revenue for parks. Revenue from entrance fees remains in the National Park Service and helps ensure a quality experience for all who visit. Here in Shenandoah National Park, 80 percent of entrance fees stay in the park and are devoted to spending that supports the visitor. We share the other 20 percent of entry fee income with other national parks for their projects. The additional revenue from entrance fees at Shenandoah

  • Shenandoah National Park Virginia
    A fact sheet from 2017 The Pew Charitable Trusts $191,000 is needed to repair one of the park’s two surviving Civilian Conservation Corps buildings, which date to the Great Depression. The Pew Charitable Trusts Shenandoah National Park Virginia Overview Over a million people enter Shenandoah National Park’s gates each year, most taking the Skyline Drive to vantage points along 105 miles of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The 200,000-acre park tracks the spine of the mountains in the northwestern corner of Virginia. From pullouts or granite peaks accessed by more than a dozen hiking trails, visitors have spectacular views of the state’s Piedmont region and Shenandoah Valley—particularly during peak fall foliage. Shenandoah is an early example of environmental planning and design in the National Park System. In the early 1900s, people living as far away as Washington built summer retreats here. When the park was established in 1935, more than 10,000 boys and young men in the Civilian Conservation Corps tore down most of these structures and nearly all homes built by early European settlers to create a more natural setting. They also carved trails—which now span over 500 miles—and built other park infrastructure. The park encompasses parts of eight counties and its restoration has allowed Congress to designate roughly 40 percent of it as wilderness areas. That wilderness draws scientists conducting ecological research ranging from bear behavior to the effects of acid rain, in addition to hikers. Unfortunately, Shenandoah faces a maintenance backlog of over $90 million, more than half of which is for road repairs.
