4 reasons you need a WV state park winter getaway…like, right now

There’s still time to enjoy winter adventures at state parks.

Mist-filled river valleys kissed by the warm glow of sunny afternoons are starting to usher in West Virginia’s incredible spring season. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Spring is a few weeks away and there are a few state parks where you can enjoy a winter getaway.

So, to all you winter lovers, this is your last chance to enjoy one final snowy adventure before spring officially arrives. Here’s four reasons why you need to take a trip before winter ends.

Snow adventures

Missing the white stuff? Us too. There hasn’t been a lot of snow this winter, but West Virginia’s higher elevations have had several good weeks of cover and might have a few more to come. Cross your fingers.

Blackwater Falls State Park and Canaan Valley Resort State Park, located in the Allegheny Mountains, are where you’ll want to go. Snow clings to the north facing slopes late into winter and state-of-the-art snow-making equipment at Canaan Valley should give you a few more weeks to enjoy a skiing or sledding trip.

Breathtaking views

Snow or not, West Virginia’s mountain scenery is awe-inspiring in winter. Enjoy the views and rediscover the beauty of nature with a winter hike to an iconic overlook. Or simply kick back and enjoy the view and other amenities at one of our lodges.

Relax on your winter getaway

Who would’ve thought being cooped up inside all winter long would be so exhausting. What you need is a relaxing getaway at a state park lodge or cabin. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating weekend at Cacapon Resort State Park, where you can enjoy outdoor adventures and quiet evenings around a cozy fire. And don’t forget to book a spa day at nearby Berkeley Springs State Park.
