Watoga State Park is home to an 11-acre lake that is absolutely jaw-dropping. You can paddle-boat, row-boat, and even take a relaxing fishing trip on the lake.

My family and I hauled our small camper to Watoga years ago. My sister was only 3 or 4, so she doesn't even remember it. But it is certainly the best vacation that I have ever gone on with my family. One that I will always remember.

Pictured above is the view from the Lookout Tower. It has over 10,000 acres of amazing forest and so many things to do, like the most stunning hikes and the prettiest sights to see.

There are 40 miles of hiking paths in Watoga State Park!



Hawks Nest has several trails to hike, as well. The Hawks Nest Rail Trail is one of the prettiest ones! You get to see two bridges, waterfalls, and what is left of an old coal mine that operated until the 1920s.

This is something that you really don't want to miss!



The New River Gorge Bridge is the second highest bridge east of the Mississippi River.
To me, absolutely nothing in the world is better than jumping into a car with my family or best friends and hitting up West Virginia’s magnificent parks.
I love just grabbing a cooler filled with water and pop and grabbing some sandwiches and just heading out to connect with Mother Nature.
