Paper Airplane Flying Contest at Pipestem Resort State Park

Pipestem Resort State Park sits high above the Bluestone River, and the views alone are worth the drive. On April 4, the park kicks off its Paper Airplane Flying Contest, inviting families to fold, launch, and compete in age-based categories.

Pair the contest with a tram ride into the gorge, a short hike to overlooks, or a picnic with mountain air. It’s the kind of simple, low-stress event that fits perfectly into a spring break cabin stay.
