As a way to break up West Virginia’s winter weather, we love to fill our calendars full of local attractions, festivals, and any sort of seasonal fun that we can get our hands on during this time of year! With more and more snow beginning to fall in areas around the Mountain State, you may be beginning to anticipate some of your favorite annual events. This February, see what awaits you at the annual Toboggan Festival in Preston County.

Part of the small town of Bruceton Mills, the Chestnut Ridge Park is the annual host of West Virginia’s Toboggan Festival.

West Virginians from all around come out and gather to go soaring down the park’s main sledding and toboggan hill.

Throughout the day, you’ll find people in their own toboggans — or ones that they’ve rented from the park’s office — flying down hill…

…as fast as they can go, even enjoying games of toboggan limbo where you can put your skills to the test!

When you’re in need of a break from all that sledding, you can head to the warming hutto to gather around a fire or grab some snacks, hot chocolate, and coffee from the office.
