HIKE
Trails for Every Level
From paved boardwalks at Blackwater Falls to the high-country bogs of Dolly Sods, Tucker County is one of the East's best hiking destinations. Our front desk has trail maps, current conditions, and recommendations based on your group and the weather.
Guest favorites:
- Lindy Point Overlook — short, easy, big payoff
- Pase Point at Canaan Valley Resort — moderate, summit views
- Bear Rocks at Dolly Sods — high-altitude, otherworldly
- Plantation Trail — long ridge ramble through hemlocks
BIKE
One of the East's Top MTB Destinations
Tucker County's terrain — high elevation, exposed rock, fast-draining ground — makes it a year-round riding hub. Canaan Valley Resort runs the lift in summer for downhill access, and miles of cross-country singletrack thread the surrounding forests.
Rentals, guides, and trail beta are all available within a few minutes of the Inn.
FISH
Trout Water in Every Direction
The Blackwater, the Dry Fork, Red Creek, and dozens of cold tributaries make this region a fly fisher's paradise. Our partners at Blackwater Outdoor Adventures offer guided trout trips and rafting throughout the valley.
Bring your rod, or rent one in town. Either way, you're 15 minutes from a wadeable river.
BEYOND THE OUTDOORS
Towns, Music, Shops, and Galleries
The towns of Davis and Thomas have an arts scene, live music almost every weekend, and small-town hospitality that feels like another era.
5 MIN DRIVE
Town of Davis
Galleries, restaurants, breweries, and shops along a walkable main street.
10 MIN DRIVE
Town of Thomas
The Purple Fiddle for live music, plus shops, eateries, and Appalachian charm.
