Here are some great spring travel destinations that are all within eight hours of Bucks County and friendly to your pocket. The New River Gorge in West Virginia is an outdoor Mecca. Adventurers from all over the world visit this playground to experience class III and class IV whitewater rapids, world class rock climbing, along with challenging hiking and mountain biking trails. These tours usually include at least two nights of camping, breakfast each morning and a full day of rafting.
Most companies also provide lunch on the river the day of the rafting trip.
Mountain bikers know West Virginia as the Colorado of the East. The nearby Summersville Lake provides easy to moderate hiking trails for just about anyone willing to pull on a pair of boots and swing a pack over their shoulder. The Battle Run Trail winds softly for six miles along the banks of the lake past its pristine blue waters and towering sandstone cliffs. Fishing is popular in The New River Gorge as well. Camping is the cheaper alternative.
