This 12-mile stretch of meticulous gardening and architecture will make you feel as if you’ve been transported back in time. Miles of lush gardens, arching trees and homes will become a fond memory of the country’s second-smallest state.

3. Go Fishing in Almost Heaven
West Virginia’s reputation as “Almost Heaven” is clear to people who love to fish. Trout, bass, walleye and more… West Virginia’s scenic waters are full of beautiful fish. Pick your spot and enjoy a serene day on your next road trip.
