If you aren’t interested in a big Memorial Day celebration but still want to get out and enjoy the holiday weekend, consider area hiking options, like Coopers Rock State Forest in Bruceton Mills and Valley Falls State Park in Fairmont.
You could also look into camping options like Big Bear Lake Camplands in Bruceton Mills and the Rhododendron and McCollum camping areas at Coopers Rock State Forest, or area swimming options like Big Bear Lake in Bruceton Mills and Tygart Lake in Grafton, to enjoy the weather as well as some rest and recreation.
