Treat your sweetheart to a romantic rendezvous at West Virginia state parks and forests. Whether you’re looking for a winter escape now or planning ahead for a summer adventure, you’re sure to find an itinerary you’ll both love.

Adventure Package

Pipestem Resort was made for the adventure-loving couple. Soar through the treetops at speeds of up to 50 mph on the Pipestem Peaks Zipline Tour. During the summer months, cool off with a playful day on the Adventure Lake’s giant inflatable mountains, slides and trampolines. Take it to the next level with a guided whitewater rafting trip on the New and Bluestone rivers or take a guided e-bike tour together. If that’s not enough, get your pass to the Adventure Zone and enjoy a fun-filled day of activities including ax throwing, 3D archery, miniature golf, laser tag and more.

Have Horse, Will Travel

BYOH (that’s “bring your own horse”) to Camp Creek State Park and Forest for the equestrian camping experience of a lifetime. The park’s Double C Horse and Rider Campground is specially equipped to accommodate both you and your horse, making it the perfect place for a romantic horseback ride through the woods.

Road Trips

If you love day tripping, plan a stay at Watoga State Park then hop in the car to discover the history and natural wonders of Droop Mountain Battlefield and Beartown State Park, just a short drive down the road. Set aside a day to drive north to Cass Scenic Railroad where you can ride an authentic steam gear-driven locomotive up the mountain and tour a historic logging camp.

Snow Sports

Grab your snow bunny and head to the slopes at Canaan Valley Resort, where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding and tubing, and even a romantic spin on the park’s outdoor ice skating rink. Then head over to Blackwater Falls State Park to experience the thrill of the longest sled run on the East Coast and view the park’s iconic waterfalls.

Romantic Getaways

Planning a wedding or honeymoon? Parks, with their beautiful scenery, are the perfect setting for romance. Picture saying your vows before a scenic overlook at Tygart Lake State Park or Hawks Nest State Park. Snap your engagement photos in front of romantic backdrops like Blackwater Falls or the Glade Creek Grist Mill at Babcock State Park. Plan a spa-centered honeymoon at Cacapon Resort along with a soak in the Roman baths at nearby Berkeley Springs State Park.
