Grant-Kohrs Ranch NHS
The Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site was established in 1972 to commemorate the Western cattle industry from its 1850s inception through recent times. The original ranch was established in 1862 by a Canadian fur trader, Johnny Grant, at Cottonwood Creek, Montana (future site of Deer Lodge, Montana), along the banks of the Clark Fork river. The ranch was later expanded by a cattle baron, Conrad Kohrs, who acquired the property in 1866. Kohrs built a large mansion on the property and laid out extensive gardens and grounds. By the early 1900s, the Grant-Kohrs ranch had become one of the largest cattle operations in the West, spanning some three million acres. Today, the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site preserves over 1,000 acres of the original ranch property, including the mansion and grounds. It is a working ranch where visitors to the site can learn about the history of the cattle industry and see firsthand how it shaped the development of the American West.

Gauley River
The Gauley River National Recreation Area is one of the most popular destinations for whitewater boaters in the eastern United States. The Gauley River, which runs through the park, is home to several class V+ rapids, making it a challenging and exciting place to boat. The park also includes a 5.5-mile segment of the Meadow River, which is perfect for those looking for a more relaxing float trip. The only area of the park that is accessible by road is the Summersville Dam, which is located at the upstream end of the park. The rest of the park can only be reached by traveling via the river, making it a truly unique destination. Because much of the national recreation area is only accessible via the river, boaters must be prepared for a long day of paddling. The park features beautiful sandstone cliffs, lush forests, and crystal-clear pools of water.
