Family-Friendly Things to Do in Canaan Valley
Canaan Valley has so many attractions that the whole family will love, many of which are near our vacation rentals. Here’s a glimpse of what your family can look forward to this Thanksgiving weekend when staying in Canaan Valley.
Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge
The Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge has many events throughout the year. It’s a terrific way to get the family outdoors and explore Canaan Valley. Family-friendly events include bird walks, flower-spotting guided hikes, a Canaan Valley history walk, and many more that depend on the season.
Scenic Chairlift Ride
A relaxing and awe-inspiring thing to do with your family is to enjoy a scenic chairlift and see the valley and the Allegheny Mountains from a new perspective. It’s especially amazing during the summer and fall months. It’s one of the best views in the valley, so please take pictures when you are up there!
