Fodor's Expert Review Greenbrier State Forest

Just minutes from Interstate 64 and White Sulphur Springs, this state forest spans an area of 5,130 acres, with 13 miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails; hunting, camping, and picnicking are also popular. There's an archery range, a horseshoe pitch, a volleyball court, and a heated outdoor swimming pool. If you want to stay the night, but prefer not to camp, you can rent a one- or two-bedroom cabin, complete with kitchen and bathroom, from April through October.
