BENTONVILLE, Va. — The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation is hosting a public information meeting to discuss the master plan for Raymond R. "Andy" Guest, Jr. Shenandoah River State Park. It will be held on Tuesday, May 13, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Samuels Public Library, White Meeting Room A.

Master plans are updated every 10 years and help guide park development and conservation. During the meeting, attendees will learn more about the master plan process and have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

Shenandoah River State Park opened in June 1999 and is on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. In addition to 5.2 miles of river frontage, this 1,600-acre park offers scenic views of Massanutten Mountain to the west and Shenandoah National Park to the east.
