Charleston, WV

In Charleston, there are both opportunities to enjoy outdoor recreation in a relaxed setting or to go on a wild adventure. At the New River Gorge, you can try your hand at exhilarating whitewater rafting, paddle boarding, or ziplining with the whole family. If you’d prefer to stay dry, stick to the hiking trails or take advantage of sand volleyball courts to get some good exercise in. If you really want to get out in nature to forest bathe and work up a sweat, head to the Kanawha State Forest and hop on one of the many biking and walking trails. You’ll get some much-needed exercise and picturesque views. But if you’d rather stay inside, you can try one of Charleston’s many indoor fitness centers to lift weights or run on the treadmill when it’s too cold outside.
