West Virginia Governor Jim Justice announced that major improvements are coming to Coopers Rock State Forest.
During the announcement, Justice said that the improvements will include 25 new campsites, a new pedestrian bridge to the main overlook which will replace the one that was closed last month, and new a-frame cabins made specifically for stargazing. The cabins will be West Virginia’s first star gazing cabins and will be “one of the best places you can see stars on the east coast.”
