Warren County holds ribbon cutting for Morgan Ford Boat Landing
Warren County held the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the upgraded Morgan Ford Boat Landing on Thursday, October 13th. The Landing, located on the main stem of the Shenandoah River, is accessed off Morgan Ford Road in the Shenandoah Magisterial District of Warren County and is open to the public.
In opening the ceremony, Cheryl Cullers, Chair of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, thanked County Public Works staff, County Administration staff, and the General Contractor, GEI for the many hours they spent developing this improved facility. She also extended thanks to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources for its generous grant donation for the development of this project.
The County was awarded $100,000 in State funds through the DuPont-Waynesboro Natural Resource Damage Assessment Settlement to upgrade the existing boat landing. The County was able to construct a parking lot with a capacity of forty-six (46) spaces and added lighting, signage, and a portable restroom to the facility. Also installed were bear-proof trash cans donated by the Front Royal/Warren County Anti-Litter Council.
This improved boat landing assists the County’s overall goal in the Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan on improving river access in the county. With the addition of dedicated parking spaces, lighting, signage, and a restroom, this landing greatly improves the ability of the public to access the Shenandoah River.
Shenandoah District Supervisor Walt Mabe thanked the community for providing valuable input on the expansion of the facility to minimize the impact on surrounding properties and to allow for a practical upgrade of the landing that will serve the area for years to come.
Chair Cullers added that the County is also currently working on upgrading the existing Indian Hollow Boat Landing with the help of funding from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.
