Deep Run Ponds Natural Area Preserve, Protected natural area in Rockingham County, Virginia, United States.

Deep Run Ponds Natural Area Preserve spans 907 acres and contains eight sinkhole ponds with fluctuating water levels throughout the Shenandoah Valley.

The establishment of this preserve represents Virginia's commitment to protecting natural areas as urban development expanded through the Shenandoah Valley region.

Researchers and naturalists frequently study the preserve's rare plant species, including Virginia sneezeweed and black-fruited spikerush, contributing to botanical knowledge.

Visitors must contact the state land steward at 540-487-9939 to arrange access, as the preserve lacks public facilities and maintained trails.

The preserve maintains one of Virginia's largest remaining systems of Shenandoah Valley sinkhole ponds, which create specialized habitats for rare plants.
