One of the most famous parks in Shenandoah, Virginia, is Shenandoah Valley National Park, which is known as one of America’s most spectacular parks. This park is situated 75 miles west of Washington, DC, and is rich in natural beauty. Wildlife such as wild turkey, bobcat, white-tailed deer, and black bears are also abundant in the park.
