State park · Berkeley Springs · West Virginia
A 6,000-acre park in the Eastern Panhandle built around a golf course and a network of hiking trails that climb Cacapon Mountain for long views over the Potomac Highlands. The lodge sits right on the ridge, so the fall color show starts before you leave the parking lot.
