West Virginia Summer Fun

Trout fishing is available in some areas. The state is beautiful but be well advised anytime you get off Interstates your life driving will become miserable. Under no circumstances do you want to drive on 60 it is up down cut back round and round. Where are you going to be? Lots of history including glass factory in Wheeling. They made/make some glass my wife gets dizzy over. There is a Hari Kristna Palace near Wheeling. And WV has the federal prison where Martha Stewart baked cookies. lol

After doing multiple searches for ideas in the state of West Virginia, I came up empty. So, regardless of what happens, your replies will help me and many others in the future who seek to spend a week or so in the Mountaineer state.

We are looking to spend a bit of time relaxing as well as do some outdoor adventure (hiking, rafting - more novice). We prefer to stay on the western two-thirds of the state as we are from Illinois.

I've come up with the following:

New River Gorge - bridge and rafting
Cass Scenic Railroad - worth the cost? Better train trips out there?
Burnsville Lake - rent a speed boat for the day? Better options out there?
Seneca Rock - hiking around looking at the scenery

Thoughts on these or other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
