"Shenandoah River: Many commercial mining projects have been carried out along the Shenandoah River. You likely won't see any of these mines in operation today, but recreational prospecting continues along the river. The North and South forks of the Shenandoah River remain reliable sources of placer gold. They can be accessed via the towns of Front Royal and Luray."
