About
the area...
Middle Ridge Campground is located in Romney, the oldest
town in West Virginia, in the fertile valley of the
South Branch of the Potomac River. The natural beauty
has played a large role in the developing opportunities
in Romney. The "Trough," is where the South
Branch Ricer is squeezed into a narrow canyon and is
one of the best locations for spotting bald eagles.
You can take a ride on the Potomac Eagle, a scenic railroad
that runs through the Trough so you can view the majestic
scenery. Enjoy Short Mountain Wildlife Preserve with
over 15 miles of marked hiking trails on over 8,000
acres of prime woodlands for hunting and fishing. Nathaniel
Mountain offers another 8,700 acres. Canoe and tubing
in two locations, Romney and Fort Edwards.
For you history buffs, Romney is the home to what is
believed to be the first Confederate Memorial in the
United States, dedicated by the citizens on September
28, 1867. Romney is said to have changed hands 56 times
during the Civil War.
