Glenwood Recreational Park — Attraction in West Virginia

We traveled to Glenwood for a middle school basketball game and decided we should investigate the area for hiking opportunities. Glenwood has a beautiful recreational park 1.7 miles from the school. We hiked 3 miles around this gorgeous lake. Half of the hike was paved and the other half was a dirt path. It was well maintained and very easy walking. It is located on Route 20 between Princeton and Bluewell. You can fish, boat, hike, mountain bike, disk golf and great playgrounds. Gasoline engines are not allowed but we are excited to return and kayak the entire lake. Adapting to a world that is full of fear, this area gave us freedom to run around in a safe space away from the paranoia. Thank you for such a beautiful place to wander in the woods to regain the peacefulness that our minds require to be healthy. We can’t wait to return with our kayaks.

Contacted them many times with issues about this park becoming more accessible years ago...

The hills werent awful, we did push a few times.

If you go around the bridge side you'll come out on top of the hill at the spillway. Once you come down the hill from spillway, stay next to the lake to enter the trail on around.

My oldest son went ahead of us and he missed it and took the graveled service road. That road will get you back to the parking lot, but not quite as fun as the trail.

We were finally packed up and leaving when we took this picture of the moon and its reflection on the water. We thanked God for such a...
