“ From the moment guests come off the trails, everything they need is right here— two restaurants, pools, a fully stocked store, gas station and an ATV wash station,” he says.
Woody says his team is working on the new resort coming to Devil’ s Backbone.
“ Cinderella Adventure Resort will feature a more scenic setting with private clusters of cabins, elevated views and a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere,” he says.“ Its proximity to Williamson also gives guests convenient access to additional dining, fuel and entertainment options.”
Keefer explains his role in the region’ s tourism industry as a resource for those who experience issues while traveling. Having relocated from Logan to Delbarton, the Keefer’ s Powersports site is now between Logan and Mingo counties’ trail systems.
Wayne County is also seeing success in the outdoor recreation and tourism industries.
“ Heritage Farm is opening Snow Oasis, which is an innovative facility that will provide a unique blend of entertainment, fitness and skill-building opportunities,” says Anna Adkins, director of sales and marketing for Huntington Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Snow Oasis is going to be an indoor-outdoor facility and will be able to make snow outside in up to 70-degree weather. Visitors can enjoy snow tubing, a snow play area, skiing, snowboarding and ice skating.
Located in Genoa and continuing to expand, Rustic Ravines is seeing a lot of visitation, some being international.
“ Rustic Ravines started with a few cabins and has since expanded to include a zip line and a wide range of outdoor activities,” Adkins says.“ Visitors can enjoy hiking, kayaking, hunting and guided ATV excursions through the property or on the nearby Hatfield-McCoy Trails at Cabwaylingo State Forest. They can also accommodate weddings and feature an on-site restaurant, Trailhead Brewing Co. Grille & Bar. It is becoming a true destination in rural Wayne County.” •
