Rileyville's location between the river and Shenandoah National Park
Like many other Shenandoah Valley communities in western Virginia, life in Rileyville revolves around the outdoors. Shenandoah National Park’s rolling hills and sprawling woods borders Rileyville its eastern side, pushing properties closer to the South Fork Shenandoah River. The region is popular with tourists, evidenced by campgrounds and rentable cabins situated along the curves of the river, but for the permanent residents, the open fields and mountain views are every day. Distance from larger towns like Front Royal and Luray further adds to the area’s quiet backdrop. “Some of us like being out in the country,” assures Realtor Martha Buracker with Weichert Realtors and Shenandoah Valley resident.
The South Fork Shenandoah River shapes daily life in Rileyville, bringing locals and visitors endless opportunities for tubing, kayaking, and peaceful scenic views.
Rileyville sits just a short drive from Luray, giving residents easy access to small‑town shops, cafés, and local attractions.

Shenandoah National Park's trails and tubing on the Shenandoah River
Shenandoah National Park is Virginia’s only national park, offering over 500 miles of trails across its 200,000 acres. Skyline Drive snakes down the length of it, offering overlooks and mountain vistas for motorists. Fall foliage makes the drive particularly popular at that time of year. Nearby trails include the 5-mile Overall Run Falls trail where people can hike to an overlook with a waterfall and the 5-mile Sugarloaf Loop, known for its great views of the Massanutten Mountains. “In any area that touches the park, they have hiking trails where you can get dropped off and then hike up into the national park,” Buracker says. Along the western side, the South Fork Shenandoah River offers boating and fishing opportunities. “We’ve got several kayak and canoe companies,” Buracker says. “But most of us who live around here are more into tubing, and we’ll tie the tubes together and float down the river. Someone will have one filled with beer and drinks.”
Rileyville’s location near Shenandoah National Park gives residents the perfect blend of quiet country living and quick access to nature adventures.
Nestled between mountain ridges and the South Fork Shenandoah River, Rileyville enjoys a quiet, river‑hugged landscape perfect for relaxing getaways.
