Alpine Lake Resort’s Live Webcam Lets You See The Scenery Before You Book This West Virginia Stay

Do you ever wish you could see what a spot looks like before you get there? Maybe you're traveling in the fall and you'd like to know what the leaf colors look like. Maybe it's winter and you're hoping you can test out your new snowshoes, but you're not sure if there's enough snow. Pictures on Only In Your State or Google Maps or Tripadvisor just won't cut it when you're trying to catch the exact week that the redbuds bloom.

Enter the live webcam at Alpine Lake Resort. It shows you exactly what Alpine Lake looks like in real time, making it a super useful tool in planning your trip!

If you're just homesick for a beautiful West Virginia mountain view, it helps with that as well.

But first, some background: Alpine Lake Resort, tucked away in the mountains near Terra Alta, West Virginia, bills itself as "an all-inclusive recreational community offering unlimited fun for the entire family."

Begin an adventure here with a night in the lodge or in a single-family vacation rental; there are a variety of options for big or small groups.

In the summer, you can relax on the beach at Alpine Lake or take a boat out onto the water.

In winter, you can cross country ski, sled, and snowshoe. Terra Alta is the snowiest town in West Virginia, after all!

Other amenities include fishing, mini-golf, hiking, biking, a pool, a dog park, and more.

There's even an 18-hole golf course open during the spring, summer, and fall months that you can play for an additional fee.

The on-site restaurant serves up delicious dinners several nights a week, and it is open to the public as well as guests (if you're not an overnight guest, just mention at the gate that you're there for the food).

Now that you know what an awesome spot this is, let's get back to that live-webcam so you can see it for yourself: head here to get that beautiful, real-time view of Alpine Lake in Terra Alta, West Virginia that we showed you at the beginning of the article.
