Spring into adventure with trails, festivals, and savings before the summer crowds arrive.
Spring lets loose a torrent of fun in Tucker County. You can hike and mountain bike on trails surrounded by wildflowers, where the big views aren’t hidden yet by the leaves of summer. Our streams run full and wild, ready for fishing and paddling adventures—and the waterfalls just won’t quit. Come spring, our mountain towns shrug the winter off and open their doors and windows to charming shops, tasty restaurants and breweries, lively art galleries, and a foot-stomping music scene.
Come before mid-June to beat the crowds of summer—and take advantage of pre-peak lodging discounts.
If you like to get away from it all, Tucker County has what you’re looking for, with trails and streams that go on into the wilderness for days.
But if you want to experience our Appalachian good nature, time your trip around one of our spring festivals. Davis, Parsons, Thomas, and all of Canaan Valley turn out Memorial Day weekend, May 23–25, for the ArtSpring Festival. You’ll find gallery shows, artist demos, and the weekend-long Davis Art Market. Enjoy a Pint Tour, with discounts at pubs, restaurants, breweries, and distilleries across the county—all that, plus hikes, films, and more.
Or come May 30–June 1 for the annual Appalachian Fly Fishing Festival. Give yourself an edge against the trout this year with workshops and fly tying and casting demos, all offered for free by people who would rather be standing in a river than doing just about anything else. Lots of gear and food vendors, too.
No matter when you come this spring, stop here first to find lodging across the county at discounts of 10% to 30%. There are stays for every traveler’s taste, from the newly updated River City Inn motel in Parsons to the Laurel River Club Bed and Breakfast on a working farm to the lodge rooms and more at the expansive Canaan Valley Resort State Park. Or find a secluded hideout at a place like Valley View Cabin Resort or Golden Anchor Cabins. Book your stay today—then come on out and Get Tuckered!
