Situated at 3,200 feet above sea level, Canaan Valley State Park is perched on the northern side of the Monongahela National Forest. Spread over 6,000 acres on the southern side of Canaan Valley, the Resort offers all the luxuries of resort vacationing all year round - superb lodging, dining, golf, heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis, skiing, outdoor games and sports, camping and recreation programs - and all the wonders this natural wilderness has to offer. Make our resort your home-away-from-home during your vacation. Canaan Valley Resort has been one of West Virginia's model state parks since the 1960s, and is well-known for its modern accommodations, progressive recreational programs, relaxing facilities and abundant wildlife. The white-tail deer abound here, and the Canada Geese spend summer raising their young before returning to the southern wintering grounds.
