Front Royal, VA
There is nice riverfront park at the foot of Luray Avenue in Front Royal. It’s in a floodplain, though, so it is closed when the South Fork of the Shenandoah rises out of its banks. I stopped at the boat landing there on Friday to see if the water had receded. It wasn’t down to the normal level yet, but Eastham Park was open. The boat landing was still largely underwater, with a large muddy area where the water had intruded.
There are broken branches in the river resting on the concrete pier, which is still under water. A sign was knocked down, although a picnic table still stands, muddy and warped.
I am re-sharing summer photos of this boat landing so that you can see what it looks like in nice weather.

ReplyDeleteThese hurricanes will become bigger, more violent and more frequent in the years ahead, unfortunately. We are truly reaping what we have sown.
ReplyDelete...things will get muddy again soon.
ReplyDeleteEven over here in the east, our water levels are much higher than they have been.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing a photo of the good times there on the river. Let's hope all the rivers and streams can run clear and at normal levels as we who were impacted by Helene return to normal lives.
