Stonewall Jackson State Park


There was supposed to be a Ramp Festival. We found a chef making cornbread muffins with ramps. She gave everyone the recipe and a sample. We heard some stories about kids being sent home from school, or being made to sit in a small separate room. Then there was the lady who said they could only eat ramps on Friday so the odor was gone by Monday. The chef said ramps are stronger than garlic when someone asked her for a comparison. Maybe there was more ramp cooking later but there was no info so we checked out more of the state park.
West Virginia has several state parks that are resorts. This is one The hotel looked fabulous- on the lake with paddle boats and a tour boat, an outside pool with lots of lounge chairs. There was an Arnold Palmer golf course, very nice looking cabins you could rent, and a nice campground with most of the sites on the lake. We got camping info for a future stay.
