Excerpt: For the community formerly of this name in California, see Big Meadow, California . View of Big Meadows in Summer Big Meadows is a recreational area of the Shenandoah National Park in Madison County and Page County , Virginia , USA . The meadow is located on the Skyline Drive at Milepost 51 and contains the park's Harry F. Byrd Visitor Center, as is a lodge, camp store, and camping area. Several of the parks popular hiking trails can be accessed from Big Meadows, including the Mill Prong Trail , which leads to Rapidan Camp , the restored presidential fishing retreat of Herbert Hoover from 1929-1933 on the Rapidan River . Big Meadows was the site of the dedication of Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1935. In 1962, during the Ash Wednesday Storm , Big Meadows recorded Virginia's greatest 24-hour snowfall with 33 inches and the storm snowfall was 42 inches. In 1996, during the Blizzard of 1996 , Big Meadows recorded Virginia's greatest storm snowfall accumulation at 47". Archaeological work has uncovered evidence of prehistoric periods of human habitation as long ago as 2000 B.C. Big Meadows was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Activities at Big Meadows At Big Meadows, there is a dining hall, gift shop, horse trails, and a series of lodges for guests to stay in. Each room at the lodge has a stone fireplace, and you are provided with an allotment of wood for your stay. Strangely, however, the rooms are heated with natural gas; for the fireplaces are for decorative purposes only, nowadays. Entrance to the Big Meadows Lodge At Big Meadow
