Betsy Bell Park

Betsy Bell Park offers a magnificent view of the Shenandoah Valley from its observation platform (elev. 1,959 ft), which looks due east toward Waynesboro and the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the bigger of the two hills you see when entering Staunton from the east or south. The prevalence of birds here is quite variable; woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, and titmice are common throughout the year. During the spring and fall, there are occasional big fallouts of warblers and other neotropical migrants.
