Cowan's Gap is a beautiful lake nestled in the mountains that great for a summer afternoon! We did this hike with our whole family, including three toddlers, and every one enjoyed it! It gives great views of the lake from every angle and the kids loved being in nature and looking for fish! It was a quick hike that we followed up with a picnic and some swimming at the beach. It's a great place to spend the day with friends and family!

You will need to park on the side of the road, but the shoulder is wide and can accommodate a crowd. The first half mile or so of this hike is hard; you'll be climbing more than a thousand feet up uneven stone steps and switchbacks. L...

Soak at Berkeley Springs State Park

Berkeley Springs State Park is the only government-run spa in the United State and worth a weekend excursion. The hot springs here flow at a constant 74.3 degrees and have long been thought to possess restorative and healing powers for both body and mind. On one end of the park you'll find the Roman bathhouse, where you can rent a private room and soak in 750 gallons of 102-degree mineral wat...
