Nestled in the rolling hills of Fayette County, We

Nestled in the rolling hills of Fayette County, West Virginia, lies Plum Orchard Lake. The 202-acre lake is part of the Plum Orchard Lake Wildlife Management Area, surrounded by oak and hickory forests and teeming wetlands. What makes this truly unique is the thousands of American white water lilies (Nymphaea odorata) covering the lake’s north end. These were planted for ornamentation by a local garden club in the 1970s but have since overtaken portions of the lake. ¶

Deep in West Virginia's New River Gorge National P

Deep in West Virginia's New River Gorge National Park and Preserve lies a hidden gem, a series of cascading waterfalls that can only be reached by an adventurous explorer as it requires a treacherous scramble down a rugged hillside, made slightly easier with the assistance of a rope. The falls themselves are not easily visible from the road, and finding them requires not just a keen eye, but also a good ear, to hear the crashing waters amidst the natural cacophony of the forest. But for those who make the journey, the reward is well worth it. You will find yourself standing before a majestic 30-foot plunge and a 20-foot cascade, surrounded by the raw beauty of nature. ¶

Pioneer Farm is a living history museum located in

Pioneer Farm is a living history museum located in a remote corner of Twin Falls Resort State Park in West Virginia. It is situated on a working farm and has been preserved to reflect the daily life of a pioneer family in the 19th century. However, the museum almost did not come to be. In the 1960s, former park superintendent Morris Harsh discovered a cabin from the 1835 era hidden within the walls of a 1915 farmhouse. Despite a lack of support from the state, the cabin was restored to its original function.

Pioneer Farm faced problems with vandalism that almost led to its closure. To address this issue, it was decided to have the museum become self-sustaining with a full-time live-in caretaker or family. ¶

After a night of boondocking, I set out for my first hike to Pine Island Double Falls in the Daniel Boone National Forest of south-central Kentucky. The Pine Island Double Falls trail was a moderate hike, with a few steep sections and some rocky terrain to navigate, and the scenery was stunning and unique to say the least, with the footpath ending at a pair of plunge waterfalls. It was the perfect way to start the day.  Pictured: Pine Island Double Falls, Violet woodsorrel (Oxalis violacea)fl, Dwarf crested iris (Iris cristata), and Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum). ¶

Kanawha Falls was first reached by explorers on Se

Kanawha Falls was first reached by explorers on September 17, 1671, by Thomas Batts and Robert Fallam, who, with Thomas Woods, had set out with an expedition to take possession of the Mississippi River valley in the name of the King of England. Woods died en route, but Fallam and Batts reached the falls, which they thought marked the break of the waters toward the South Sea and laid claim to the Mississippi Valley.

Later, the 15-foot-high falls were a popular stopping point along the James River & Kanawha Turnpike and is still a popular stop along the modern-day Midland Trail, or US Route 60. ¶
