Eastham Park — Attraction in Virginia

As described in other posts, this little piece of heaven has easy access from the main road. It offers picnic tables near a small playground, there's shade and restrooms, and a beautiful, easy trail to bicycle or walk on.

The water here is awesome. Rocky, but the large rocks that don't cut your feet (: it varies in depth, where some parts my husband was even able to lay down! I must warn tho, as with any natural bodies of water, algae accumulates on the sides and in more stagnant areas. The rocks can be super slippery and it gets realllllllllly thick towards the sides. Additionally, at the entrance where a lot of people lounge, the depths vary- so if you have little ones keep eye on them bc if there's a dip and they don't have a floaty, it can easily be a scary situation.

Other than that we saw kayakers, families, dogs, swimming tubes and more. The water temperature in mid-August was such a treat. There where little tadpoles and other small fish swimming between our ankles. Overall, this is a wonderful, relaxing, and a total treasure...

Great paved trail with dog park, playground and small soccer field included. Bring the kids on a walk or let them play on the playground. Bring the parents or the pets to enjoy the mostly shaded trail as squirrels triapse the grounds looking for a nutty treat or two. Stop to rest and enjoy the view along the river on any one of the several riverside benches or dip your toes in at the boat launch.

During the warmer months you'll see people swimming, kayaking and canoeing along this section of the river. There's a small covered area near the boat launch to BBQ or enjoy a packed meal. Soccer practices happen on the fields from April through June and again from August through November.

Train tracks run adjacent to the park, so there's a high likelihood that you'll see one on your visit and even get to walk under one as it drives over the trestle on the trail.

Two Porta-a-johns available and water fountains near the entrance and the dog pens. Even lower ones for...

We were visiting relatives in Front Royal and needed a nice place to take some family photos.

We've come to the park before and enjoyed their trails and sitting by the Shenandoah so we thought this would be a perfect place.

It really is because not only doesn't have benches along the water to watch the river with kayakers it also has enclosed dog park places.

We were able to take some nice family photos and noticed that we weren't the only ones. Must have been homecoming nearby because a lot of homecoming pictures being taken as well.

The park offers the ability to enjoy walks along the river and a lot of room to spread out and take...
