Here's a look at some other where-to-go destinations for this summer.

DISTRICT I TOMLINSON RUN STATE PARK
At 1,398 acres, Tomlinson Run State Park is one of the smallest of West Virginia's parks; it is situated at the tip of the Northern Panhandle. Tomlinson Run is also, obviously, the farthest north of any state park or forest in West Virginia. Ken Caplinger, chief of state parks, says that the 25-acre lake there, the aptly named Tomlinson Run, has been rejuvenated.

At one time, the Hancock County lake was 33 acres, but it was drained because of silt problems and the reconstituted impoundment now is smaller, as it has wetlands about it. Tomlinson Run currently boasts a two-story fishery, as it receives trout stockings once each month from January through April. Very few trout are likely to be alive, though, by June.

The main attraction of Tomlinson Run is its warmwater fishery for bass, channel catfish, bluegills and black crappie. Two boat ramps exist and are ideal for launching canoes and johnboats; gasoline-powered motors are not allowed. Park superintendent Jim Harvey says the warmwater species are very popular with families as are the park's pool, water slide, 18-hole miniature golf course, game courts and hiking trails.

Harvey says that his favorite pathway, and one that is ideal for families, is the Laurel Trail, which winds its way by historical landmarks, such as the remains of a covered bridge and an old stone wall that was part of the Fairview Turnpike. Laurel Trail also follows a stream for a while and meanders through the park's wilderness area. That area, too, may hold attraction for family adventurers with its heavily wooded hillsides, sandstone and shale cliffs and wildflowers.

Additionally, anglers may want to make a quick five-mile drive to the Ohio River and the New Cumberland Lock. Harvey has done so himself and regularly catches bass, catfish and walleyes.

Tomlinson Run features a 54-unit campground, 10 cabins that can only be rented as a whole for group activities, and four yurts, which are Mongolian tents situated on wooden platforms. The park also possesses two "sleeping cabins," which are available to groups or families. These structures are Amish log cabins that are 12 by 18 feet and are designed, as the name implies, just for sleeping.

DISTRICT II BERKELEY SPRINGS STATE PARK
As the name applies, Berkeley Springs State Park does possess water within the 4 acres that the park encompasses, but no fishing possibilities exist. But park district administrator Bob Beanblossom believes that combining a visit to the park, the town itself, and the nearby Potomac River would be a fascinating family outing.
