LURAY, VA – Shenandoah National Park has announced plans for their 2024 Veterans Day observance. The Park will continue its partnership with Project Healing Waters, a nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to veterans’ physical and emotional healing through fly fishing. In addition to educating participants about fly fishing techniques, the group, along with philanthropic partners, sponsors fly fishing trips for veterans in need.

Volunteers with the organization will return to the Park on Veterans Day, Monday, November 11, 2024. Project Healing Waters volunteers will lead programs simultaneously at Dickey Ridge Visitor Center (mile 4.6) and Byrd Visitor Center (mile 51) from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visitors can pick up tips and practice fly-casting and fly-tying. All are welcome to participate.

Monday, November 11, 2024, is a fee-free entrance to all National Park sites in observance of Veterans Day.
