Harpers Ferry is rich with history and surrounded by activities of all kinds. Soldiers marched towards Antietam to fight for the foundations of equality and a unified country during the Civil War. Now this area offers historical tours, water sports, wineries, breweries and multiple access points to the Appalachian Trail. This particular area of Harpers Ferry is truly enchanting. When we stumbled upon its misty mountains, we were completely taken with its solitude and beauty all within an hour of Washington, DC and only 30 minutes from Northern Virginia. Shannondale Lake has seen its share of DC elites grace its sandy shore. Over the years, the lake has evolved from a private, invitation only retreat to what you see now - a fully functioning lake with water sports rentals, sandy beach, and year round restaurant and bar service. Whether here on your own to rest, work or relax, for winery tours, to visit historic battlefields and towns, celebrating a special occasion or to spend quality time with friends, family or lover you will not be disappointed.
See you soon at the Lake!
