During the spring and summer, this is one of the most beautiful areas in the entire country. The weather is warm and comfortable, the sun is shining, and the array of outdoor activities and things to do seem endless.
So, in the spirit of the approaching seasons, here are five of our favorite outdoor activities in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
Take a trip into the past by visiting this beloved attraction in Harpers Ferry. Not only are visitors able to take scenic tours, learn more about the trades people took up in historic times, and get an in-depth look at what life was like after the civil war, they also get to experience all the beauty of this natural area!
Go for a hike along the many trails of Harpers Ferry, or sit with your loved ones to enjoy the beautiful springtime flowers. You could easily spend an entire day, or an entire weekend, soaking up all the natural beauty and historic wonders of Harpers Ferry.
Cascade Falls
Just a stone’s throw from Charles Town in nearby Pembroke, Cascade Falls is an unforgettable experience of nature.
Enjoy a moderate to challenging hike (depending on your skill level) up the trail as you get closer and closer to the falls. In total, the trail is a four-mile loop split up into a lower and higher trail.
Once you reach the top of the trail, you’ll be greeted with the site of the jaw-dropping falls. The falls feed into a large pool at the bottom, where visitors like to swim and dip their toes for a refreshing break from hiking.
