The Canaan Valley area boasts the highest elevation valley east of the Mississippi, offering cool and clean air. Summer brings lower humidity and temperatures rarely past the 80 degrees with cool refreshing evenings. With a multitude of available nearby activities (white water rafting, fly fishing, epic mountain biking, gentle and scenic rail/trails for bicyclists, golf, world-class rock climbing, children’s activities in the nearby state parks, scenic lift rides, etc), Canaan Valley is an outdoor enthusiasts’ dream come true. In autumn, Canaan's foliage rivals New England's brilliance and diversity of color.
During winter, find the area blanketed with an average of 160 inches of natural snowfall annually that provides a winter wonderland. Two major downhill ski resorts, snow tubing, ice skating, cross-country skiing and quality lodging spells winter fun! Spring brings some of the best trout fishing in the east while the beauty of wildflowers is evident throughout the valley.
