Description

Looking for a summertime adventure? Tubing and camping on the Current River is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet. At Watercress Recreation Area you can soak in the sun and float your days away, then reel in your dinner to grill up at your waterside campsite. First-come, first-served sites have basic amenities, so you can get cozy with Mother Nature. To stretch your legs head to the Songbird Trail that has Civil War earthworks overlooking the river for a dash of history.
