Summersville sits at the edge of the New River Gorge region — one of the newest national parks and one of the best climbing and whitewater destinations in the country. The lake is five minutes away. The gorge, twenty. Whether you're here to climb, paddle, raft, or just float, it's all close.
Pinheads Bowling is located down in Oak Hill, so about a 35 minute drive, but worth it on a rainy day or off-day from other activities. It’s a classic bowling alley with 12 lanes, a solid bar menu, rotating beers on tap and pitchers offered if you’re looking to hang. A strong recommend.
One of the more surprising finds in downtown Fayetteville — a well-designed escape room venue with themed rooms. The themes rotate, so check the site below for the most up-to-date roster. They occasionally feature Scarebnb - an airbnb themed escape room. If you liked Barbarian (2022) and like getting spooked, this is for you.
GRIPPED FITNESS is a state-of-the-art climbing, pickleball and fitness facility just a few miles from the New River Gorge Bridge. If you’re wanting to get a workout in on a rainy day this is as good a spot as you’ll find. $18 for a day pass.
