Moody Boat Launch

Surrounded by a spectacular nature setting, sits the secluded Moody Boat Launch. Find pleasure in the convenient facility that allows one easy access to the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Relish the fishing opportunities or soak up some sun on a lazy canoe ride. You might catch a glimpse of a Bald Eagle, the symbol of our nation, sitting proudly in the trees above or diving into the water after a meal.
