Fishing near Elkton, VA
Elkton sits in Rockingham County in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where the South Fork of the Shenandoah River runs right through town. The river is the centerpiece of local fishing, drawing anglers after smallmouth bass, rock bass, and redbreast sunfish through its riffles, pools, and long flat runs. Elkton Landing provides a public boat ramp on the river, a common put-in for float trips through this scenic stretch of the Valley.
