Cool Springs Park

Located along Rt. 50 in Preston County near the town of Rowlesburg is a small store/restaurant known as Cool Springs Park. Located beside the store is a clearing converted into a park with an iconic water wheel, trains, tractors, and other neat relics for visitors to walk around and see along with picnic tables and pavilions. This is another one of those little roadside attractions that's worth a stop if you're in that neck of the woods.

I remember going here as a kid with my parents to eat lunch at one of the picnic tables and walking around seeing all the antique tractors. While the park is a big draw for passer-bys the store itself has fuel, food, cold drinks, souvenirs, and just about anything else you can think of.

Cool Springs Park is an interesting stop on your travels that doesn't take long but provides a nice rest stop to gas up your car, stretch your legs, and enjoy some food in the mountains of rural West Virginia while being surrounded by remnants of its agricultural past.

The water wheel at one time had fallen into disrepair and I was very happy to find it once more operational as up until the recent visit I hadn't been there in several years.

Don't take my word for this one swing on by and check out the antiques at Cool Springs Park and don't forget to check them out on Facebook.
