Bluestone
Lake
West Virginia's largest lake, 1,970-acre
Bluestone Lake is among West Virginia's most
popular boating destinations. However, its
undeveloped shorelines, protected as state
wildlife-management area, are filled with
deer, squirrel, raccoon, turkey, fox and
bobcat. Float fishing for striped bass,
panfish, musky, catfish, and largemouth and
small-mouth bass is excellent.
Bluestone
National Scenic River
The stony gorge of the Bluestone River
protects a wonderland of scenic cliffs and
rock formations that overlook this
free-flowing stream. Anglers and hikers use a
trail between Pipestem State Park to Bluestone
State Park to access the river. Kayakers
challenge the Bluestone in spring, but waters
ebb to a trickle by mid-summer.
Bluestone
State Park
More than 2,000 acres of forested mountain
are preserved at Bluestone State Park, on the
Bluestone River adjacent to Bluestone Lake.
Fishing and canoeing are naturally important
facets of recreation on the lake, but the park
affords plenty of hiking trails and developed
cabins and camping areas as well as a swimming
pool.
Pipestem
State Park
Pipestem's trails, lodges, cabins, and
golf courses attract thousands of visitors
through all seasons. An aerial tram, horseback
rides, and stunning views of the Bluestone
Canyon and surrounding tablelands are also
among the park's popular attractions.
Restaurants, an outdoor pool, and a fishing
lake make this one of West Virginia's best
vacation destination parks.
New
River Gorge National River
One of the world's oldest rivers, the New
River wears a wide valley past the Pipestem
area before entering its world-famous New
River Gorge below Bluestone Lake. Hiking,
biking, float fishing, and whitewater rafting
are extremely popular on the New River. The
Sandstone Falls on New River is among the most
spectacular national areas in West Virginia.
Sandstone
Falls
The New River plunges 25 feet over scenic
Sandstone Falls in the New River Gorge
National River. The National Park Service
provides trails and boardwalks around the
falls and nearby islands. This stunning
natural area is a must-see for Pipestem area
visitors.
Winterplace
Ski Resort
Just off Interstate 77, Winterplace ski resort
provides some of the best downhill skiing in
the South. Descending Flat Top Mountain from
the highest peak in the Pipestem region,
Winterplace trails and sledding and tubing and
snowboarding parks keeps the fun going through
winter.
