Urban & Community Forestry Program Tour

The U.S. Forest Service brought officials from the Office of Management and Budget to tour one of the nation’s most successful Urban & Community Forestry Program projects. Luray has been an Urban & Community Forestry Program participant since 1999.

Officials from the Washington offices of the U.S. Forest Service and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) visited the Luray Hawksbill Greenway project on June 5th. The purpose of the tour was to learn how communities utilize the Urban & Community Forestry Program to implement successful projects at the local level. Luray has been an Urban & Community Forestry Program participant since 1999.

Leading the tour are D. Patrick O’Brien, Luray’s Parks and Recreation Director and Paul Revell, Virginias Urban and Community Forestry Coordinator.


Fishing Opportunities in Lake Arrowhead 



Fishing is one of Lake Arrowhead's most popular activities. With a wide variety of fish and idealic scenery, Lake Arrowhead provides exceptional opportunities for fishermen. 

When it comes to stocking Lake Arrowhead, Channel Catfish is stocked in Lake Arrowhead around October, annually, by the District Game and Inland Fisheries. These fish are typically ten to twelve inches in length. The amount of fish stocked is relative to the size of the lake and is consistent with other similarly-sized lakes throughout the area. 

Lake Arrowhead may, in the future, opt to receive an additional stock of Catfish beyond the current amount. 

Also found in Lake Arrowhead are Northern Pike. These fish have received fewer stockings from the DGIF over the last two seasons. Due to production problems, the DGIF had to reduce its July stockings of Northern Pike. When stocked as scheduled, these fish are typically three to four inches in length and provide an additional species for fishing. Because these fish do not reproduce within the lake, exceptionally high numbers are not expected for Pike at any time. 

As a panfish population fishery, Lake Arrowhead also holds Bluegill, Bass, Crappie, Tiger, Perch, and Walleye varieties.


Luray Softball Tournaments 2012 Season

The 2012 Softballnation Girls Fast Pitch season will be filled with numerous events throughout the Shenandoah Valley. They have added additional tournaments in Luray and are excited about the opportunity to bring these events to this community during Luray's bicentennial celebration.

Arbor Day 2012

The Luray Tree and Beautification Committee sponsored the 13th Annual Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 28th at the Luray Depot/Visitor Center.

The Town of Luray was awarded for National Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA status for the 12th consecutive year and the Growth Award for the 9th consecutive year.

AND RAIN GARDEN

The new permeable paver parking lot and rain garden on  the Greenway is now open!  Spaces have been marked for parking on the entire lot including the “Turfstone” area that resembles grass.  Along with the additional parking, our main goal in this particular area is to filter run-off into the Hawksbill Creek.

This project was made possible through a grant provided by the Virginia Department of Forestry.

Fishing permits are required only for persons ages 16 and up.  Permits may be obtained at the Luray Town Office, Wal-Mart, Fairview Grocery, and Bill's Guns and Taxidermy. 


Remember Bike And Pedestrian Safety On The Greenway
Safety Announcement:  
Because the Greenway is a multi-use casual leisure trail, extreme caution and courtesy need to be observed when operating any type of equipment, including bicycles or roller-blades on the Greenway. 

Due to the number of walkers, runners, and children who occupy the Greenway paths, cyclists, in particular, need to use appropriate speeds (high speeds are not permitted on the Greenway) and yield the right of way to all pedestrians.

Cyclists should exercise added caution on descending ramps, bridge areas, and turns where pedestrians or children may be less visible. Serious injury can result from inappropriate cycling on the Greenway. 

Please remember that this is a shared space. Caution and courtesy are essential for the safety and enjoyment of everyone who makes use of our award-winning Greenway paths.


Luray's "New Front Porch"

Luray Virginia is a town of fewer than five thousand residents. It is situated in the Shenandoah Valley between the Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest. Despite its small size, the town has over 300 acres of parks including the Luray-Hawksbill Greenway.

This highly visible walking/biking trail borders the Hawksbill Creek for most of its length and runs through the middle of town.
