Sitting in the shadows of the highest peak in the eastern portion of West Virginia, Cacapon Resort State Park offers 6,000 acres of exciting outdoor getaways all year-round. The park provides lake activities and hiking opportunities, vacation cabins, golfing, and restaurants in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. The word Cacapon is a derivative of a Shawnee Indian word meaning "medicine waters," a reference to the area's mineral waters that have been renowned throughout history for their healing powers.
Tennessee Walking Horses are our specialty but we also have horses from other breeds who have great personalities and are fun to be around. Many of them are suitable for the beginner horse enthusiast and some are more high performance for the experienced rider who is looking for more speed and spirited riding.
