Where do you venture when you want to enjoy West Virginia’s lush meadows, towering forests, and a rippling stream? The same place you go to find a rare plant, animal, or bird. Incidentally, this is also where you can find someone eager to help you learn more about West Virginia’s amazing nature scene AND where you can see some of the only Shenandoah Wet Prairie Marsh in the world: Cool Springs Preserve in Charles Town.
The preserve is open daily from dawn to dusk. To learn more and plan your own trip to Cool Spring Preserve, visit the Potomac Valley Audubon Society’s website here. And if you work up an appetite exploring the preserve, you can always stop for a meal at Mountain View Restaurant in Charles Town.
