Warren County is where the north and south forks of the Shenandoah River join, making the Town of Front Royal the proud “Canoe Capital” of Virginia. Warren also holds the northern gateway to the Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive, and tourism is a strong influence on the area. It is not big in forestry or agricultural for the region, although by all measures agriculture and farming have increased between 1987 and 1997.
Warren County currently has 31 easements which cover over 5, 034 acres of privately protected lands.

Not all protected properties are pretty. The Avtex Fibers Superfund site in Front Royal is permanently protected by a conservation and environmental protection easement held by VCC and the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District.
