Lower North River Dam 22a (Tower) — photo spot in Dry Run Rd, Hinton, VA 22831, USA
Lower North River Dam 22a (Tower)
Small concrete dam and observation tower on the North River offering strong foreground water textures, cascading flow, and reflections framed by tree-lined Shenandoah Valley hills. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for side light and color; long exposures smooth the spillway. Access via Dry Run Rd with limited roadside parking—use caution near wet, slippery rocks and private property. Low visitor numbers make it ideal for solitary compositions; seasonal foliage and ice add variety.
