Information About

Shenandoah Acres




Shenandoah Acres was a resort in Stuarts Draft, Virginia that billed itself as "America's Finest Inland Beach". The Acres closed in 2004 and was subsequently purchased by the Eavers, a local business family.

The most visible aspect of Shenandoah Acres was its lake, which was a small, spring-fed lake that was unique for its use of playground equipment in the water. In addition, Shenandoah Acres featured a campground, horseback rides, and miniature golf. {Link without Title}


HISTORY

Originally, Shenandoah Acres was a farm consisting of orchards, cranberry bogs, and a small pond. Dr. William Dodge charged visitors ten cents to swim and picnic on his property in the 1930's. The property was purchased by the Blacka family in 1935. {Link without Title}
