Only 30 minutes from Buckhannon, the water in the river that goes through the park is beautiful and clear! They have a "beach" area and shallow water to wade/swim in. They also have plenty of trails and fishing.

Coffee, breakfast, lunch, and beer - all in one! This place is a staple for us; if you're looking for a place for any of the above, we highly recommend Stone Tower, right in the heart of downtown Buckhannon.

Making a weekend of the trip? New River Gorge is less than 2 hours from Buckhannon. They have trails, beautiful views, BridgeWalk, whitewater rafting, and more.
