One of Grant County's
most utilized recreational resources is nearby Canaan
Valley, recognized for its excellent winter sports
opportunities. In the winter, Canaan Valley Resort
opens their slopes for
skiing, snowboarding and tubing.
Two triple chairs and one quad lift move skiers up the mountain at the rate of 6,000 per hour. Thirty-seven trails and an 850-foot vertical drop welcome skiers from beginner to advanced levels.
For cross-country skiers, there are more than 30 kilometers of marked trails and easy access to the Monongahela National Forest including a trail to Blackwater Falls State Park some 10 miles away. There are 800-foot tubing lanes and you can even ski or tube under the lights on Saturday nights during the prime season.
During spring, summer
and fall, mountain biking, hiking, backpacking and
exploring are the primary activities.

State Park offers swimming, tennis, nature walks,
evening events and an 18-hole championship golf
