		The river flows north 116 miles from Northern Rockingham County to the Town of Front royal where it joins the South Fork Shenandoah to form the Shenandoah River.
		As the North Fork cuts through the karst geology of the Shenandoah Valley many bedrock ledges cross the channel perpendicular to the flow of the river.
		The North Fork is an ideal river to float by canoe.

	Geography and Strategic Importance of the Valley
		The Shenandoah Valley is that portion of the Great Valley of Virginia that is drained by the Shenandoah River and its affluents.
		The Shenandoah Valley is bounded on the northwest by North Mountain, the first range of the Allegheny Mountains, and on the southeast by the Blue Ridge, which separates the Valley from the Piedmont region and coastal plain of eastern Virginia.
		Front Royal, situated at the confluence of the North and South forks of the Shenandoah River at the head of the Massanutten, was a second important transportation node.

		The most sought after sportfish in the North Fork Shenandoah River is the smallmouth bass.
		The natural mortality rate of smallmouth in the North Fork is high and harvest by anglers is low, based on research conducted by biologists.
		Largemouth bass are limited to relatively few areas of the North Fork where deep pools with slower currents exist.

		However, the river provides a variety of services (economic, recreational, and biological) to the people; many of which require water actually in the river.

	SHENANDOAH RIVER FISH KILL INVESTIGATION UPDATE
		Shenandoah Valley, VA — A persistent fish kill has severely reduced the adult smallmouth bass and redbreast sunfish population in over 100 miles of the South Fork and Mainstem Shenandoah River.
		The lesions on the fish have been associated with natural bacteria found in the river, but the underlying cause appears to be an unidentified stressor, which compromises the fish's resistance and make them susceptible to bacterial infection.
		Similar fish kills involving the same species occurred on the South Branch Potomac River (WV) in 2002 and on the North Fork Shenandoah River in 2004.

	USGS - Selected Trace-element and Organic Contaminants in Streambed Sediments of the Potomac River Basin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		The occurrence of these contaminants in streambed sediments of the Potomac River Basin is of concern because the contaminants (1) are environmentally persistent, (2) are available for downstream transport during high streamflow periods, and (3) have the potential to cause adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms and humans through bioaccumulation.
		A major goal of the Potomac River Basin study is to describes the occurrence and distribution of a wide variety of physical, chemical, and biological water-quality characteristics of streams and ground water in the basin.
		An example of the environmental persistence of contaminants in the Potomac River Basin is the occurrence of total DDT in streambed sediments at all sites sampled during the 1992 survey, two decades after the use of the pesticide was banned in 1972.
