Upgrades being made at West Virginia state resort park

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginia officials say updates at Cacapon Resort State Park will provide additional attractions for visitors to the Eastern Panhandle.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held last week for improvements to the Morgan County park.

Officials say the nearly $25.4 million project will include the addition of 78 guest rooms at Cacapon Lodge, along with a dining room, a lounge, a spa and an indoor pool. They say existing facilities also will receive upgrades, including remodeling guest rooms, creating new conference space and renovating the lobby.

Work is expected to be completed by 2020. The project is being funded by bonds financed with excess lottery revenue.

Cacapon (kuh-KAY’-pon) Resort State Park’s lodge was built in the 1950s.
