Front Royal
我们今天从弗吉尼亚州 Front Royal 小镇的 South Royal Avenue 开始。这座历史悠久的小镇被称为“弗吉尼亚州的独木舟之都”,坐落在谢南多厄河南北两支流的交汇处,为户外休闲活动提供了如画的背景,并通过天际线大道上的 Front Royal 公园入口成为进入谢南多厄国家公园的重要通道。
这座小镇与公园的建立有着深厚的历史渊源。上世纪30年代经济大萧条期间,联邦政府为了建立国家公园而征用土地,许多本地家庭被迫搬迁,从而在 Front Royal 和公园之间建立了长久的联系。
Front Royal 经济上受益于国家公园的旅游业,全年吸引游客前来远足、观赏野生动物,以及在秋季欣赏绚丽的红叶。小镇拥有各种住宿选择,从温馨的民宿到大型酒店,满足不同游客的需求。
除了作为进入公园的门户,Front Royal 还因靠近谢南多厄河和乔治·华盛顿国家森林而成为划船、钓鱼和徒步旅行等户外活动的热门地点,为游客带来完整的自然体验。
小镇每年还会举办庆祝自然和历史联系的节日活动,如弗吉尼亚葡萄酒与工艺节(Virginia Wine and Craft Festival)和 Front Royal 独木舟比赛,吸引了大量本地人和外来游客。
前方右侧就有一家 7-Eleven,是加油和购买零食的好地方。如果您已经准备就绪,请继续前行,前往 Stonewall Jackson 高速公路和国家公园入口。
