As a lifelong resident of West Virginia, freelance writer Tim Lewis has contributed to several national outdoor magazines. Realizing that there are just as many opportunities in his local area for outdoor activities as there are elsewhere, he wrote this ebook to detail those opportunities to casual visitors and tourists.

This ebook contains information and locations that only a local resident would know and each of these locations are accompanied by GPS coordinates to facilitate their easy location on Google Maps by those not familiar with the area.

If you are a resident of the Washington, D.C. area or are planning a visit to Jefferson and Berkeley Counties in West Virginia, this is the ebook that you need to avoid not only the tourist traps but also the tourists. If hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, or boating is your passion and you want to know the best locations to do them in order to facilitate the most of your time, then you need the information in this ebook.

Each topic and location in this ebook are derived from the author's personal experiences as a lifelong resident and outdoor enthusiast. His skill as an outdoor writer make the book easy to understand and will serve as a guide to the eastern panhandle of West Virginia over and over again.

Unlike other books of this category, for other locations, this book does not approach fishing or hunting as a general topic. Each type of fishing and hunting are discussed, along with the best locations to enjoy each. If you fish from a boat, there is a section on boating and boat fishing. If you enjoy fly-fishing, you will find your own, specific information on that as well.

Hiking is discussed in depth and include not only the more familiar trails but also places that tourists seldom consider. The availability of parking is detailed as well as the best times of the year to avoid if you wish to get away from the crowds.

Biking and where to do it (and where not to) is included in this ebook as well as kayaking and kayak fishing.

The author believes that there is more than enough information available for those interested in camping or zip-lining and has instead focused on the underserved recreational activities of the eastern panhandle. Avoiding the touristy 'float trips' or charter fishing trips, he tells you how and where the locals do both with the intention of helping the blue-collar outdoorsman or woman find low cost or no cost activities that they can enjoy with their children.
