Spring adventures in Mountaineer Country
-Break out the kayaks and canoes
View the City of Morgantown from a different perspective by taking a float trip on the Monongahela River.
Bring the family along for a relaxing trip on the Big Sandy Creek, which is five miles of slow-moving water.
Head to the historic City of Grafton for a ten-mile trip down the Tygart River.
-Rails to Trails walking, running and biking
The Rails to Trails is the perfect place to go for a scenic cycling trip or run. Whether you are a passionate athlete or leisure cyclist, these trails will be open and ready for traffic as the temperature rises in Mountaineer Country.
-Hiking at one of our nearby state forests or parks
Grab your friends and family, or your furry friend, and take a hike at Coopers Rock State Forest.
Then, get a dose of nature therapy on more than three miles of hiking trails in the comfort of Cathedral State Park, which is the state’s largest old-growth forest and sanctuary for many ancient trees.
Finally, explore Tygart Lake’s surrounding woodlands at Tygart Lake State Park.
-Cast a line at a nearby waterway
Check out the nearby waterways stocked with trout, and other species, at places like the Tygart Bywaters, Mason Lake, Big Sandy Creek, Coopers Rock Lake, and more.
-Grow the ultimate garden with a little help from our friends
Springtime calls for working on the garden in Mountaineer Country! Consider pre-ordering flowers, bushes, herbs and more from Modern Homestead at Tatham’s. Unsure where to start with planting or landscaping? Check out their Facebook page for live videos involving tips from the professionals, Lucas and Trellis Smith!
Also, give back while you grow your at-home garden sanctuary by purchasing flowers, seeds and collections online for delivery. 50% of each online purchase will be donated to West Virginia Botanic Garden to support this destination.
