Family Snow Adventures
Winter is the perfect season to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday and reconnect with what, and who, matters most. You never know what you might find if you step outside and enjoy the snowflakes.
Blackwater Falls State Park is known for its beautiful waterfall & hiking trails. But in the winter the park transforms into a snow-filled paradise. Take the family to the East Coast’s longest sled run. It’s more than a quarter mile long and will keep the kids wanting more. Afterwards roast some marshmallows over an open fire and recount the day’s adventure.
