Parkersburg WV, Marietta OH area

We enjoyed Blennerhassett and Fenton Glass, but felt nervous camping at the fairgrounds as we were the only people in the park. No one even to check you in. Next time we would want to stay somewhere else. There was also a cg next to the fairgrounds, but it looked kind of rough.IMHO

in addition to the above:

Bike the

North Bend Rail Trail

Camp at

North Bend State Park

The rail trail has some old tunnels. The park is close to Parkersburg

Marietta has a sternwheeler museum near the fairgrounds.

Visit the Lafayette Hotel. It is on the junction of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers.

Visit Blennerhassett island for a touch of history.

Visit the glass factories.

Drive route 26 and see several covered bridges.

Visit the wood worker store in Parkersburg.

These are just some things off the top of my head, the spelling may not be correct. I'm sure there are more things in the area.
