Spring

Spring in Tucker County is a time of renewal and exploration. As the snow melts, waterfalls roar, rivers rise and trails awaken. This is the season for hikers, bikers, anglers and birdwatchers to rediscover the outdoors. With fewer visitors, you’ll feel like you have the area to yourself, and lodging rates are more affordable than ever.

Fishing enthusiasts flock to Tucker County’s rivers, stocked with rainbow, brown and golden trout. And whitewater rafting is at its best during this time, with abundant water flow creating opportunities to paddle rivers that are typically calmer later in the year.

Spring events bring the community together, from the Canaan Mountain Bike Festival to ArtSpring. Nature lovers will enjoy the West Virginia Wildflower Pilgrimage at Blackwater Falls State Park, where vibrant blooms paint the landscape.
