The Raymond R. Andy Guest Jr. Shenandoah River State Park is one of Virginia's newest state parks. Located just down stream from Bentonville, the park boasts over five miles of frontage on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. These waters eventually flow into the Chesapeake Bay. The park consists of pastures, forests and vistas of the mountains and the river.

Wildlife you are likely to see during your visit may include black bears, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, raccoons, foxes, beavers and skunks just to name a few. In addition, there are many types of birds, insects, snakes, trees and plants. April and May are good times to look at the wildflowers and catch part of the spring bird migration. This is also a good time to fish for smallmouth bass and channel catfish in the river. These species are two of the most sought after fish in the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.

During the summer months, the park hosts many interpretive programs that promote conservation of the river and create an awareness of how important it is to protect the river and Chesapeake Bay watersheds.
