New River-Greenbrier Valley These two great rivers set the scene for awesome outdoor
adventures, wonderful driving tours and four season activities.
During your visit, discover a region enriched by Native American,
Colonial, Civil War and coal mining history — along with some of
the state's top destinations for dining, arts and entertainment.
Suggested stops: Tamarack, Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, Theatre West Virginia, Bramwell,
Pipestem Resort State Park, New River Gorge Bridge, Hawks Nest State Park, and The Greenbrier.
Hatfield-McCoy Mountains This dramatic landscape takes its name from two families who
fought a bitter feud, but the traditions of strength and valor reach
further back — this is the land of Chief Logan of the Mingo Tribe.
These ancient mountains weathered the Civil War and the Coal
Mine Wars and have emerged today as a place where heritage
trails are as abundant as ATV trails. African-American and
immigrant populations have enriched and defined the region.
Suggested stops: Chief Logan State Park, Historic Matewan, Coal House, ATV trails
Ashland Company Store, and Madison's Coal Heritage Museum.
Mountain Lakes The heart of the Mountain State is a place of large lakes and small
towns, dense forests and deep historic roots. Visit the ancestral
home of Stonewall Jackson, or the site of the first land battle of the
Civil War, or watch wildlife at the West Virginia State Wildlife Center.
Beautiful byways and backways wind through the region, including
Mountain Parkway Byway arid Cedar Creek Road Backway.
Suggested stops: Jackson's Mill Heritage area, Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park, Stonewall
Resort, Flatwood Factory Stores, Mountain Lakes Amphitheater and Trans-Allegheny Asylum.
Metro Valley Imagine city life without all those issues that make you want to
get away — the traffic, the hectic pace, and the crowds — but
with all the good things: the arts, interesting foods, shopping,
technology and good coffee. To this vision, add lush mountain
scenery, wide rivers, easy access to several national recreation
areas and an absolute treasure trove of historic gems.
Suggested stops: West Virginia State Capitol Complex, Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences,
Heritage Farm Museum and Village, Blenko Glass, Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center and
the Mothman Museum.
Mid-Ohio Valley Drift a placid lake in a rowboat — or roll along the wide Ohio River
on an authentic sternwheeler. Take on 72 miles of an American
Discovery Trail on a bike — or take to the same trail in an old-
fashioned, horse-drawn carriage. Place yourself inthe company
of history by visiting a brand-new Civil War park — or preserve
the past by photographing a couple of West Virginia's picturesque
covered bridges.
Suggested stops: Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, Holl's Swiss Chocolatier, Oil and
Gas Museum, Historic Sistersville, R. C. Marshall Hardware Store and North Bend State Park.

Northern Panhandle Historically and geographically, the Northern Panhandle has been an important point of confluence, almost a magical place. It was home to the Adena people, the last battle of the American Revolution, the coming of the National Road, the first bridge across the Ohio River, and an industrial boom that spawned vast fortunes and Victorian mansions. In 1863, the state of West Virginia was born in Wheeling. Thoroughbred horses and greyhound dogs lead the way to slot machines and table games.
Suggested stops: Oglebay Resort & Conference Center, West Virginia Independence Hall, Wheeling Racetrack and Gaming Center, former West Virginia Penitentiary, Homer Laughlin China, Mountaineer Racetrack and Gaming Center, and Thistle Dew Farm.
Mountaineer Country Mountaineers are independent, resourceful and courageous. Mountaineers live life with gusto. This area offers magnificent places to play, learn and live well. From dramatic gorges to ancient Cathedral Forest, the scenery is worthy of wonder. History lives here, too. A frontier-era fort, Civil War cemeteries, museums and a New Deal-era homestead. In Mountaineer Country, history co-exists with energetic university communities, high-tech enterprises and a dynamic cultural scene.
Suggested stops: Arthurdale Heritage area, Prickett's Fort State Park, Coopers Rock State Forest, Mother's Day Shrine, Philippi Covered Bridge, West Virginia Public Theatre and West Virginia University.
Eastern Panhandle Beginning in 1748, when he was a teenaged surveyor, George Washington spent a lot of time in what is now West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. He bought his first piece of property in 1750 and by 1777, he owned more land and began spending summers in the area. Follow the Washington Heritage Trail through the area. More than a historical path, it's a journey through some of the most beautiful countryside in America — endearing small towns, fertile farmland, fern-filled forests and panoramic river overlooks. Relax with a spa treatment, shop at an antique store or explore a fine art gallery.
Suggested stops: Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Charles Town Races and Slots, Bavarian Inn, Belle Boyd House, Berkeley Springs Historic State Park, DeFluir's Fine Chocolates, O'Hurley's General Store and The Woods Resort.
Potomac Highlands Check out a state map, and you'll notice a large green swath along the eastern central portion of West Virginia. That's the Monongahela National Forest — almost a million acres — and much of it is in the Potomac Highlands region. The Allegheny Mountains ripple through this area, making for awesome outdoor adventures and splendid driving tours. These green mountains also shelter a valuable diversity of plants and animals, some of them rare. Against this backdrop, the Potomac Highlands is full-to-bursting with mountain music, fine arts and handcrafts, historical treasures, gracious lodgings and good things to eat.
Suggested stops: Canaan Valley Resort State Park, Snowshoe Mountain Resort, American Mountain Theater, Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, Seneca Rocks Visitor Center, Tygart Flyer, Cheat Mountain Salamander, Durbin Rocket and Potomac Eagle Railroads.
