The Kids are Going to Love these Spring Break Getaways in West Virginia

There’s no better place to teach your child to fish than in a West Virginia State Park. This spring, more than 50,000 golden rainbow trout will be stocked in 60+ lakes and streams across the state for West Virginia’s Gold Rush. Those fortunate enough to reel in one of these magnificent fish with a specially marked tag will be entered to win a grand prize. Get your West Virginia fishing license at wvhunt.com

Let your kids explore the great outdoors with a hike to one of the state’s most hidden gems. This 2-mile climb pays off with spanning views at nearly 3,000 feet above sea level. Look out upon three West Virginia counties and two Virginia counties below. Enjoy a snack, sit down and take a break in the stone hut or snag a photo on the Almost Heaven swing!

Witness your children gaze in wander at Almost Heaven’s star-studded skies from the comfort of an award-winning A frame cabin. Complete with two bedrooms, full furnishings, Wi-Fi and a telescope, here you can experience the perfect mix of modern comfort and rustic adventure. Pet-friendly options are available!

Get a breathtaking bird’s-eye-view of the beautiful mountains and rolling valleys with a scenic chairlift ride at Canaan Valley Resort. Ride the lift both ways, or get off at the top for a lush hike to Bald Knob Overlook.

Book a stay at Chief Logan State Park and find yourself just minutes away from one of the longest off-roading trail systems in the world. Boasting more than 1,000 miles of trails ranging in levels of difficulty, this one-of-a-kind activity is the perfect way to celebrate spring while traversing some of the Mountain State’s most beautiful backcountry.
