Shenandoah River

By

The WooFDriver loves to take the WooFPAK to the Shenandoah Valley where they take to the fields Free Range Running. They often visit the banks of the Shenandoah River to explore. This river is a tributary of the Potomac River and 55.6 miles long with two forks approximately 100 miles long each in Virginia and West Virginia. The origin of the name may have came from General George Washington. It is assumed he named the valley and river in honor of Oskanondonha (also known as Skenando or Shenandoah), an Oneida Chief, who led hundreds of Oneida and Tuscarora warriors in support of the American rebels on the frontier during the Revolutionary War.
