Pipestem Resort State Park WV

There is a plant around here that has a hollow stem. The Indians used it as a pipestem whenever they were smoking whatever it was they were smoking. Back then it was probably legal. Anyway, that is the source of the name of this park. We headed North on I-77, drove through Virginia and ended up here in Southern West Virginia. What makes this place a resort is the following: 2 golf courses. 1 disc golf course, 1 putt-putt golf course, an equestrian center, a tram that takes you down to a river, a Zip Line course, and finally, a lodge and conference center with a very nice restaurant. The drive was rainy and it is wet and almost cold now. It's supposed to be the same tomorrow. Not sure what we'll do tomorrow, however we aren't too far from our newest National Park (New River National Park). We might go there just to add that to our list. We are here for 3 nights.
