Things To Do
Shavers Lake
It's not a summer vacay without some time at the beach right? Take a ride down Ballhooter Lift and relax at the Shavers Lake beach. Take out a Stand Up Paddleboard or canoe, lounge in a hammock, and play on our water jungle gym. The best part? No sharks, jellyfish, or rip currents.
The Backcountry
Earn your turns in Almost Heaven. The Snowshoe backcountry trail system provides miles of singletrack goodness that can be routed with lifts to minimize the climbing. Explore the Fingers for tight trails winding through Spruce trees, head to Cheat Ridge to go up the Fire Tower and drop down Bailout, our most technical backcountry trail, or start your ride at Silver Creek for a bit of everything.
Raven Golf Club
The course at the Raven consists of 18 holes, each more stunning than the last. This Gary Player designed course will challenge even the best golfers. But don't fret, with various tee box lengths at each hole this course can be played by pros and beginners alike. The Raven also has a full pro shop with club rentals so we've got everything you need to play a round.
Cass Scenic Railroad
Ride historic steam locomotives located in the nearby town of Cass.
Cranberry Glades Botanical Area
The Cranberry Glades Botanical Area protects the largest area of bogs in West Virginia. Bogs are acidic wetlands more commonly found in the northern areas of this country and in Canada. The ground in a bog is spongy and consists largely of partially-decayed plant material known as peat. Because of its unique conditions, some unusual plants grow in bogs, including carnivorous or insect-eating plants. The Botanical Area encompasses 750 acres.
Green Bank Observatory
Green Bank Observatory is home to the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world, which towers over the rolling hills. This 8,500-ton piece of space technology only works without other interferences, because it perceives sound waves from the stars instead of light waves. One of the quietest spots in the country, Green Bank received attention from major publications like Thrillest and Travel + Leisure.
