Strasburg River Walk

The Strasburg Riverwalk follows a nice riparian buffer along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River at the edge of the town of Strasburg.  The habitat is mostly either brushy open areas or wooded edges, ideal for migrant passerines. In addition to the main trail that goes from the town park to the high school, there are several other loop trails that pass closer to the river. These trails are often the best for migrants.  In addition to the wide variety of passerine migrants seen here, the woods along the river are crawling with Warbling Vireos and Baltimore Orioles in the spring.

Accessibility: The riverwalk can be accessed from either end.  The main entrance is from the Strasburg Town Park at the east end where there is a large parking area and boat ramp.  The riverwalk can also be accessed from Strasburg High School outside of school hours by parking in the southeast lot and walking south past the gate to the west entrance.
