Official visitors guide to West Virginia boat rentals, jet ski, ATV, fishing, RV, hunting, and outdoor adventure tour companies offering recreational activities in the state.  It is bordered by Virginia to the southeast, Kentucky to the southwest, Ohio to the northwest, Pennsylvania to the north, and Maryland to the northeast.  The capital and largest city is Charleston.  The state is noted for its mountains and diverse topography, its historically significant logging and coal mining industries, and its political and labor history.  It is one of the most densely karstic areas in the world, making it a choice area for recreational caving, motor sports, dirt bikes, and boating activities.  The karst lands contribute to much of the state's cool trout waters where anglers come to catch some large fish. It is also known for a wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities, including skiing, water sports, whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking and hunting.

West Virginia is located entirely within the Appalachian Region, and the state is almost entirely mountainous, giving reason to the nickname "The Mountain State".  The elevations and ruggedness drop near large rivers like the Ohio River or Shenandoah River. About 75% of the state is within the Cumberland Plateau and Allegheny Plateau regions.  Though the relief is not high, the plateau region is extremely rugged in most areas which is perfect for hiking and rock climbing.  The average elevation of West Virginia is approximately 1,500 feet above sea level, which is the highest of any state east of the Mississippi River.

On the eastern state line with Virginia, high peaks in the Monongahela National Forest region give rise to an island of colder climate and ecosystems similar to those of northern New England and eastern Canada.  The highest point in the state is atop Spruce Knob, at 4,863 feet and is covered in a boreal forest of dense spruce trees at altitudes above 4,000 feet.  Spruce Knob lies within the Monongahela National Forest and is a part of the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area.  A total of six wilderness areas can also be found within the forest.  Outside the forest to the south, the New River Gorge is a canyon 1,000 feet deep, carved by the New River.  The National Park Service manages a portion of the gorge and river that has been designated as the New River Gorge National River, one of only 15 rivers in the U.S. with this level of protection.

Information visitor guide to Virginia boat rentals, jet ski, ATV, fishing, RV, hunting, and outdoor adventure tour companies offering their recreational services in the state.  Virginia has a large area of square miles within the state, including 3,185 square miles of water, making it the 35th-largest state by area and a wide variety of outdoor sports available to all ages.  Virginia is bordered by Maryland and Washington, D.C. to the north and east; by the Atlantic Ocean to the east; by North Carolina and Tennessee to the south; by Kentucky to the west; and by West Virginia to the north and west.  Many of Virginia's rivers flow into the Chesapeake Bay, including the Potomac, Rappahannock, York, and James, which create three peninsulas in the bay and many boating activities are popular for tourist and locals.

The climate of Virginia becomes increasingly warmer and more humid farther south and east.  Seasonal extremes vary from average lows of 26 °F in January to average highs of 86 °F (30 °C) in July.   Forests cover over 60% of the state, primarily with deciduous, broad leaf trees.  Because of this there are many camp sites, state parks, and national parks for hunters and explorers to enjoy the outdoors.  Walleye, brook trout, Roanoke bass, and blue catfish are among the 210 known species of freshwater fish which anglers love to catch year round.  Running brooks with rocky bottoms are often inhabited by a plentiful amounts of crayfish and salamanders.  The Chesapeake Bay is host to many species, including blue crabs, clams, oysters, and rockfish.  Virginia has 30 National Park Service units, such as Great Falls Park and the Appalachian Trail, and one national park, the Shenandoah National Park.  Additionally, there are 34 Virginia state parks and 17 state forests, run by the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Department of Forestry.

Many counties and localities host county fairs and festivals which are enjoyable with friends, family or business outings.  The Virginia State Fair is held at the Meadow Event Park every September which draws large crowds from around the world.  Also in September is the Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach, which celebrates the city, the waterfront, and regional artists. Norfolk's Harborfest, in June, features boat racing and air shows.  Fairfax County also sponsors Celebrate Fairfax! with popular and traditional music performances.  The Virginia Lake Festival is held during the third weekend in July in Clarksville.  Wolf Trap hosts the Wolf Trap Opera Company, which produces an opera festival every summer.  Each September, Bay Days celebrates the Chesapeake Bay as well as Hampton's 400 year history since 1610, and Isle of Wight County holds a County Fair on the second week of September as well.  Both feature live music performances, and other unique events.
