Guests are invited to take advantage of West Virginia State Parks’ late-summer travel discounts for cabins and cottages from September 4-30, 2007.

Fifteen state parks and forests offer discounts ranging from 15 percent to 40 percent off standard nightly rentals depending upon the area for midweek rentals. The discount amounts vary by park.
