With the majestic Ohio River as a backdrop, we invite you to come escape, discover and play in Greater Parkersburg.
Just south of Parkersburg, West Virginia, you’ll feel like Tom Sawyer as you paddle down river in an authentic sternwheeler to Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park.
Listening to the steady churning of the engine and feeling the occasional spray of the paddle wheel, you’ll be quietly lulled into believing you’ve escaped every care in the world.

Back on the mainland continue your exploration into the region’s history [...]
