Welcome to Shenandoah National Park.
Shenandoah National Park was authorized in 1926 and established in 1935 to provide a peaceful refuge for nearby urban populations. The creation of the park has allowed natural forces, combined with the efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps, to regenerate an area of scenic mountain terrain. Today, visitors from around the world come to Shenandoah to enjoy its natural beauty.
The National Park Service (NPS) is responsible for the protection of this vast resource and its visitors. The NPS and concessioner ARAMARK work in partnership to ensure that your visit is a memorable one.
This American Park Network guide to Shenandoah is provided by ARAMARK to enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of the park. It has been made possible by the support of the sponsors whose messages appear inside.
Shenandoah hosts nearly 1.5 million visitors annually. With your interest and assistance, the park's natural and cultural resources can be protected and preserved for future generations.
Enjoy your visit to Shenandoah National Park. Relax and appreciate the beauty of this back-to-nature experience in the midst of a burgeoning population. We hope you'll come back again and again.
