And there was a really cool Dobson fly on the pole outside the restaurant we had lunch at Cons - There are two lifts which were really slow. It wasn't busy at all. I can only imagine what the wait is like when it gets busy. We rode one green trail at the bottom then decided to stay at the top and rode those trails. The bike carriers on the lift are fender destroyers! Make sure to take your front fender off or it will be ripped off! Your bikes hang vertically and swing out quite violently when it leaves the loading area. There's one pricey restaurant open with a huge outdoor deck. Paid 15.50 for a chicken sandwich and 4.00 for one soda. There is also no bike rack to put your bikes in. Unfortunately, we only got to ride 2 1/2 trails. Macadamia, Creamy and part of crunchy. If you like rocky trails, this place is for you. Although it was nice and sunny, There was lightning within a 15 mile radius and the lifts never re-opened. Didn't get a chance to ride the techy black trails. Don't think we will be visiting this DH park again but I think it's worth trying it out if you're in the area. Check the weather before you go

It's grown because of the fantastic service and thoroughly enjoyable time he provides all his clients. Wes is relaxed, friendly and easy-going but don't confuse that attitude as laid-back or lazy. Wes manages all aspects of his trips like he did his sniper team in the Army: thorough, professional, and with full his full attention to detail. He's overall 'fishy' and not locked into one style of fishing. He'll seamlessly switch between dries, dry-droppers, nymph rigs and streamers to get fish in the net. Then, get ready to be totally spoiled with any of the hot, gourmet lunches Wes wipes up streamside. Spoil yourself and spend a day with Wes and his team of guides!

I stayed in Cabin 12, a two bedroom cabin on a little hill. It was far enough away from the other cabins to feel private, but within sight enough to feel safe. There were trails to hike or bike all over, strolled a few, but the frigid weather kept it 3 miles or less, so glad there were plenty of loop options. As we (the dog came along as usual) were there in winter, a lot was shut down for the season, but there was a restaurant, camp store, marina, and swim beach that I bet are pretty busy come summer! The lake is beautiful against the rolling mountains. Town is close by for groceries, and the Falling Spring Falls are a must see! Hit up Covington and Clifton Forge for supplies and other random things to do if you are interested in a low-key vacay!

Yes, it would be! The state park (4,545 acres) is nestled in the Allegheny Mountains. It had been a traditional family park since 1936, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for the role its design played in development of parks nationwide. The park features mountain scenery, stream fishing, a 50-acre stocked lake, sandy swimming beach, cabins and campsites (including some lake-side), and 43 miles of hiking. There's also a well-stocked camp store and small grill. We were pleasantly surprised by the prices. One tip: when you reach the state park, there is a parking area on the right along the stream, with signage. The MAIN entrance, near the lake, is an additional four miles up the road.
