Are you the outdoors type? Now that spring is here, its a good time to take a look at one of our featured vacation destinations – West Virginia. With an abundance of forests, mountains, and rivers, there is something to do for every outdoor enthusiast.

There is certainly no shortage of campgrounds, cabins, and cottages to stay in. Country Road Cabins are available year round, and are perfect for a romantic getaway. They’re close to some of the state’s best recreational areas, including New River Gorge, the Gauley River, Babcock State Park, Hawks Nest State Park and Carnifex Ferry Battleground State Park.

For those with an interest in history or railroads, Cass Scenic Railroad State Park is a destination not to be missed. This park is nestled in the mountains, where you can rent a vacation cottage that was built at the turn of the century. Trips on the railway offer unique views of the surrounding wilderness, and take you back to the era of the steam locomotive.

With two scenic rivers, the New River and the Gauley River, white water rafting is popular in West Virginia. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, there is a rafting trip for you. Companies like Songer Whitewater can help you put together a great rafting vacation and experience!
