See more of the Blackwater River from within this relatively new WMA maintained by the DNR. Three miles of the river cut through the wetlands in the Canaan Valley and provide an ideal place for fishing and just reconnecting with nature.
Davis is near to three ski areas: Canaan Valley, Timberline, and Whitegrass. All are approximately nine miles away, making it easy to call Davis your home base in the winter, too.
Even if you aren't an avid hiker, you can still enjoy the spoils of the highest plateau east of the Mississippi. The gorgeous views and unusual plant life will make the drive up to (and even through) Dolly Sods worth the effort. You'll marvel at colors you never imagined possible in nature, plus one-sided trees that resemble flags blowing in the wind.
