Pipestem Resort State Park

The Almost Heaven swing at Pipestem Resort State Park is positioned near the picnic shelter and parking area, offering wide-open views of the Bluestone Gorge. Stay overnight at the lodge to catch both sunrise and sunset over the mountains, or make a day of it with a facial at Mountain Serenity Spa. For something wilder, soar above the trees on a zip line tour.

A wooden swing with a cutout of West Virginia and the words almost heaven overlooks a misty, forested valley. A sign labeled Scenic Overlook stands nearby.
