Here, too, you'll find friendly cities full of fun and nightlife. From wild to mild, from five-star resorts to rustic retreats, West Virginia truly has something for everyone. Thanks for visiting West Virginia Wild & Wonderful -- we look forward to seeing you soon!  Relax in thousands upon thousands of acres of well-kept state parks and national park forests. Nature is always nearby in West Virginia. The Potomac Highlands, which runs north to south along the eastern spine of the state, is the great outdoors, waiting for you to explore--on skis, on a bike, on foot, in canoes, at the end of a rope or underground. At the end of a day of adventure, head to a resort, mountain lodge or a cozy bed and breakfast, or camping under the stars. The New River/Greenbrier Valley of southeastern West Virginia offers breathtaking mountain views, incredible whitewater, some of the state's most scenic public parks and lodges, a centuries-old spa legacy, miles of hiking and biking trails and historic towns where coal and the railroads were once king.
Mountaineer Country, in north central West Virginia, is an intriguing mix of pioneer forts, covered bridges, ethnic festivals, university sports, scenic trails and white water thrills. Arts, crafts, antiques and culture also are sprinkled in the small cities and towns that dot the region. The Mountain Lakes is the heartland of West Virginia. There are deep, blue lakes, clean, clear air, starry nights, and the beauty of nature at its unspoiled best. Small towns and state parks, many with historic backdrops, beckon visitors who truly want a change of scenery and a change of pace. The Metro Valley has city lights and style and the warmth and accessibility of small towns. There are art, history and children's museums; theater, music and dance; sophisticated shopping and the lure of glass. In the countryside surrounding the cities, there are state parks and forests, historical monuments and a dash of coal history. Land adventures
