In a recent survey by Mixbook, West Virginia was highlighted as having some of the best off-grid picnic spots in the country. Three locations in the state made it to the top 60 in the list, offering stunning views and historic charm for picnickers.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, coming in at #25, provides beautiful views of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers as well as historic buildings. While options for dining out are available, limited parking may require visitors to take a shuttle.
Babcock State Park, ranked #35, features the iconic Glade Creek Grist Mill and the Almost Heaven swing, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful lunch break. However, visitors are advised to bring their own food as restaurants are quite a distance away.
At #60 on the list is Coopers Rock State Forest, offering breathtaking views from the main overlook. Picnickers can enjoy the scenery and take photos with the Almost Heaven swing while snacking on a box lunch, as restaurants are not conveniently located nearby.
Overall, these three West Virginia locations provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and scenic picnic experience. Travelers looking to explore hidden gems for outdoor dining can consult the full list of top off-grid picnic spots nationwide to plan their next adventure.
