CHARLESTON WV
AREA ATTRACTIONS

Visitors' Center - Charleston seems to be somewhat shy of exits from I-77 (and I-64) even though the WV Turnpike ends at the southern edge of the city. It is easier to get to the Visitors' Center than many other places in the city (at least from the Interstates) and, once you are on city streets, getting around is very easy - even with the river almost bisecting the city.
  From I-64/77 northbound continue past the I-64/77 split at exit 101 staying on I-64 westbound. Take the very next exit - which is numbered 58-C. At the end of the off-ramp bear left on US-119 (Pennsylvania Ave) and go 2 blocks (the 1st US-60 is one-way the wrong way) and turn left on Lee Street (the second US-60). Cross over the bridge and turn left onto Clendenin Street. The Charleston Convention & Visitors Bureau is one block ahead on your right (200 Civic Center Drive).

Kanawha River Walkway - While you are at the visitors' center ask them about the Kanawha River Walkway (within a couple blocks of where you probably parked your car). This is a very nice walk (actually there are two: an upper and lower walk) along the river with a lot of nice views plus some older, stately homes facing the river. It is a nice, short break from driving.

Charleston Sternwheel Regatta - Each Labor Day weekend, they put on a fun shindig. Centered around a parade of boats and about anything folks can find that can float on the river, they add to the fun with a lot of bands (about every kind of music you can imagine) and lots and lots of food. While you can enjoy just one day's worth of it you might consider spending a night or two and really being part of the fun. For more details, contact the visitors' center at 1-800-733-5469 (toll free).
