Cacapon Resort State Park

The 6,000-acre park extends across the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, featuring mountains, forests, and a 2,300-foot elevation at Cacapon Mountain point.

The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park during the New Deal era, completing most facilities in the early 1940s before its official opening in 1937.

The name Cacapon originates from Shawnee language, meaning medicine waters, referring to the mineral springs that surface at nearby Berkeley Springs State Park.

The resort includes a lodge with five meeting rooms, thirteen modern cabins with stone fireplaces, and a conference facility that accommodates 250 people.

The park houses a Robert Trent Jones championship golf course, added in 1973, along with 20 miles of hiking trails and a mountain lake for swimming.
