Augusta County

Augusta County lives in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. Home to entrances of both the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway and a neighbor to the Shenandoah National Park, Augusta County offers numerous fishing opportunities and is home to the famous Mossy Creek.

Mossy Creek is a fly-fishing destination, where both beginners and experts can find an exciting brown trout-challenge. The area is also home to Sherando Lake, a 32-acre Recreation Area within the George Washington National Forest that offers trout and bass fishing, along with a beach and family campground. The South River, home to rainbow and brown trout, smallmouth bass, redbreast sunfish and rock bass among others, flows both north and south within Augusta County, and offers special regulation trout fishing near Lyndhurst.
