Waynesboro, Virginia

Augusta County · Shenandoah Valley

Waynesboro, Virginia

Waynesboro sits at Rockfish Gap, the exact spot where the 105-mile Skyline Drive ends and the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway begins. It's the south gateway to Shenandoah National Park.

Waynesboro punches above its weight for a town of 22,000 — Basic City Beer Co. and Seven Arrows are anchor breweries, the South River runs an in-town fly-fishing destination through downtown, and you can be on the Blue Ridge Parkway in 10 minutes. The Wayne Theatre and the Virginia Museum of Natural History add a small but real arts scene. The new Waynesboro Heritage District has rapidly turned around in the last five years.

  • Rockfish Gap south entrance to Skyline Drive
