The Almost Heaven swing overlooking the lake at Bluestone State Park is reason enough to visit this hidden gem in West Virginia. Set along the state’s third-largest body of water, the park offers plenty more to see and do. Hiking trails lead to tucked-away waterfalls, and the lake itself is perfect for boating, fishing, or just taking in the views. For longer stays, the park has cabins and camping options that put you right in the middle of the scenery. With its mix of quiet trails, lake views, and that iconic swing, Bluestone State Park is pure Mountain State magic.

Sandstone Falls is one of the most unique waterfalls in West Virginia and one of the most stunning on the East Coast. As the largest waterfall on the New River, it stretches an impressive 1,500 feet across, broken into multiple cascades by a series of small islands.

With its wide, thundering flow and dramatic scenery, Sandstone Falls is easily one of West Virginia’s most breathtaking natural sights.
