Nature lovers enjoy hiking or horseback riding in Lost River State Park. You can swim and sun at Rockcliff Lake, a spring fed lake located about 15 minutes from the Inn. Fishermen love Trout Pond or Lost River, where trout and small-mouth bass abound. Golfers praise the courses at Bryce Mountain and Moorefield. A day trip to the South Branch area takes you to Seneca Rocks, one of the most popular climbing spots in the East. Canoeing is available on the South Branch of the Potomac River.
In April and May, you can watch eagles nest on the mountain behind the Inn and see the return of such migratory birds as northern orioles, red-breasted grosbeaks, and indigo buntings. The flowering redbud and dogwood are magnificent during this time of year. In mid-July, the Firemens Festival at the community center takes you back in time. You can watch horseshoe throwing and old-fashioned jousting on horseback and enjoy food, rides, music and games. The last weekend in September is our Heritage Festival. Historic homes and buildings are open to the public. The county celebrates its history through civil war encampments, quilt displays, apple-butter making and other activities. In October, the foliage begins to turn and the mountains of West Virginia are spectacular. Be sure to book early if you plan to visit anytime during the month of October. |
