  2. Kanawha State Forest — Located seven miles from Charleston, Kanawha State Forest offers more than 25 miles of hiking and biking trails as well as various wildflower, tree and bird populations.

  9. Buck and Bette — Before heading to Black Sheep for dinner and drinks, stop at Buck and Bette to shop for fancy and staple goods that you didn’t know you needed in your life. Home goods and t-shirts for sale at Kin Ship Goods and Base Camp Printing Company.
  10. Kin Ship Goods & Base Camp Printing Company — Shopping at Kin Ship Goods and Base Camp Printing Company is a must when in CWV. Kin Ship Goods sells hand-printed cozy wear and quite the collection of home goods. Base Camp Printing Company designs and prints its own letterpress prints.
