Lovely place to regroup your head space !

Although this is a small botanical garden, its very nice and has a variety of plants that bloom at various times during the season. In addition to the gardens, there are numerous shorter trails through the woods. One if the trails circles and all abandoned water supply reservoir with the remains of the dam works. There a numerous informational postings and the trails are well marked.

We were married here today by Major and his beautiful wife Jen We are from Lake Charles, Louisiana but Eloped here in West Virginia at the Botanical Gardens. Very beautiful place!

Nice flat mostly graveled pathway... I think a single lap around the old resivour in .7 mile. Although most of the paths are gravel you COULD encounter wet/muddy conditions if a path through the woodlot is taken.Because the trails are flat and non-technical the Botanical Gardens can be very busy

Been coming here most of my life. Theyve done a lot with the place to make it accessible to everyone. Beautiful scenery and fauna. 0.7mi loop of level terrain.

Great location and great people to work with. Hosted our daughters outdoor wedding, highly recommend. Great venue.

Stunning scenery and park grounds for such a small park. Traces of old growth forest remain in the park. The modern botanical areas are lovely as well. Neat recent history as a water reservoir discussed on signs throughout the park. The water flowing in the small creek is crystal clear with a sandy bottom.

Very relaxing and you can walk your animals and wear your kids out. My daughter loves the Fairland. We build and check on the Fairy houses each visit.

Beautiful garden to walk around and enjoy the day. Love it. Highly recommended!!

Its relaxing. You can maintain distance. Its well-maintained and beautiful and they dont mind if you sling up a hammock and chill. Be aware: no bathrooms for the time being

Frequent hikes with the family, easy trails for all all ages !

Happy accident in discovering this place. We were on a day trip from Pittsburgh-- stopped in Morgantown for lunch-- googled what to do.... The grounds are beautiful. We built cairns and fairy dwellings. Lots of ideas for my natural garden. We plan to visit again. Going for every season.It was dry so we didnt get to see the marsh/ wetlands.

Good place to take the dog for a walk. There are paths that go through the middle so youre never too far from the entrance.

Trails are well marked. The main loop is gravelled and well-maintained enough for strollers. We take our toddlers & infant here l the time.

I loved going! My kind of day. Hiked with daughter, son in law, 3 year old grandson and a 15 month old granddaughter. We took a little picnic. People were pretty good about distancingLots to see and learn.

They keep adding to the plantings near the parking, plus there are ample trails some of which are in mature woodlands.

The WV Botanical Garden is very nice for walking and communing with nature. Trails are well maintained with gravel and wooden benches. No fees are charged to enter the garden. Currently there are no events planned at the Nature Center due to the VIRUS. This is a beautiful place to visit frequently.

I’ve been in Morgantown for several years and just discovered this place. It’s definitely an underrated, chill spot

Nature at its best! Met director/(owner?)Bill- who was very helpful & friendly even though he seemed to have a lot of duties. We all need to volunteer more time (& $ !)for these things that are close to our hearts! With the recent rains, it was a great day for SHROOMS! (see pics) Cant wait to come back! Love love LOVED it!

Unique and lovely! As far as a botanic garden it is small but very well maintained. I came more for the trails anyway. The paths are well marked and also well maintained. It doesnt take long to feel as if you are deep in the forest. Very beautiful and tranquil.

Nice place to walk around. Not too many plants / flowers to look at but definitely a nice park near Huntington, WV.

Lovely place to walk

Great variety of plants and historic structures. Long, easy trails with informative placards throughout. The noise of the powered maintenance tools is a little loud.

Beautiful place! Well informed staff and eager with information about the gardens. Wish I took more pictures but was too busy enjoying the scenery.

Lovely place for a walk or run with special family and friends.

The ideal location to get out among nature, learn a little bit, and just relax! the trails are so lovely, and I especially appreciate the amount of benches and hammocks! also the cute little art work you can find hidden in places is just great!

More like a nature trail; but still a very nice place for a stroll or hike. Multiple trails to hike. Downhill gate can be locked at any time though, so be aware.West Virginia has some major plans and updates coming up.

Nice trails. Nice walk around the pond.

This is a great place for many activities. From bird watching to walking a trail to get your miles in. This is a fantastic place. I have it 5 stars do to the many activities this Garden has, how clean it is, how staff friendly it is. It is open from dusk till dark. No cost, free to the public!!! If you wanting to get away and see some of nature’s natural beauty, this is your spot! There are also nearby areas of interest just a couple miles down the road as well. A state forest and an outlook that overlooks three states!! Check it out!! You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

Nature. Trails. Flowers! Artwork! Volunteer based. Just a wonderful place!

Nice for a hike, trails were sort of easy that even the kids could walk it

Me and My Granddaughter was looking to Waste sometime while in the area and Happened upon this Place, so Glad we Did, the Gardens where Small, but Well Kept & Beautiful, and the trails where enjoyable! It Indeed made our Day More Beautiful!

The WVBG is one of my favorite places to visit here. Whether you want to go for a walk around the many trails, a run around the reservoir loop, a small hike in the woods, or to observe the beautiful gardens and plant varieties, its the perfect place to find peace and get some quality outdoor time.

We only visit the gardens. They are very nice, but I have seen a lot of the botanical gardens, and this one is not extraordinary. Nice but not excellent!

Beautiful gardens. I recommend doing to the full loop trail at least. There are more trails in the back for the more adventurous. They have been expanding a lot recently so check the sign when you get there

A nice walk in our beautiful West Virginia woods.

Beautiful landscape. Several different trails and paths that are perfect for walking or running!

Eloped here. One of my favorite places in Morgantown to go for a quick hike.

Nice place with plant ID placards and well groomed limestone main trails as well as single track trails in the forest.

Well kept area. Nicely labeled trails. Friendly staff. Beautiful plants!

Super serene garden. Has grown a lot over the years and looks more and more beautiful each time you go!

Great place to relax and walk

Great trails lovely place

Beautiful gardens, great trails. Relaxing walks

Excellent location to take a walk or even have a photo shoot.

Beautiful and relaxing. Easy walking

Its very scenic and pretty.

A new botanical garden that has more trails than gardens. Still a very nice place to go for a stroll. The trails were easy and well marked. A nice place to interact with the flora and fauna of WV.

Bigger then I thought. Well laid out. Love to see it in the spring. Gun range must have been closed.

Wonderful place with walking trails with nice verity of woods,wetlands,and grassy areas. Trails are are clear and pretty flat. With the ones in the woods well worn and easy to see.

Such a beautiful place to visit.

What a lovely addition to Morgantown. A wonderful place for a walk and to enjoy the lovely flora of WV. Well maintained and easy to access and navigate. Really enjoyed our visit.

It was great. Very relaxing.

One of our favorite places in Morgantown!

Beautiful and natural landscaping. Great walking loop with some hiking trails- great for trail running! Staff does an amazing job keeping this place up!

The trails are well maintained and easy to roam. Great for your furry companion or a walk by yourself. Really loved how extensive and deep the trails run. From wetlands to explore to hammocks hung for guests, it’s a great day get away. Not to mention the beautiful flora and fauna!

We stopped here for a walk during our drive. It was pleasant and had a few nice walking trails but it was much more of a walk in the woods than a botanic garden. I expected a much larger, more manicured area of flora but the areal that was actually labeled was very small.

Absolutely gorgeous. Loved it.

Great place to take your family

Peaceful, calm, and very well maintained

One of my favorite places for a walk in Morgantown. Excited to see new growth here.

It’s coming along. Worth a visit.

Loved listening to the frogs singing!

I love the botanic garden. Dog friendly and so beautiful when everything is in bloom!

Beautiful place to visit

Nice outdoors place

Beautiful and fun for the family

Very friendly people work there!

Great place for a walk or to relax in a hammock.

Clean, well-kept, and absolutely gorgeous! We come back multiple times every year!

Beautiful garden with walking trails. Perfect for taking the kids or the dog out on the trail. I was happy to hear that you can have wedding here! It would be a gorgeous venue for any couple looking for an outdoor space.

Plentiful woodland gardens, pretty meadow flowers, and formal gardens for bees and butterflies. All kinds of pathways throughout to take it all in. Marked trails. Dog friendly.

Recording took my family to this place my wife my kids had a blast they were smiling and laughing so that may need warm and cozy inside and made me smile too

The name doesnt match the place. This place is very good for family hiking. Marked hiking trails are well maintained, but the map suggests other unmarked trail, which are not suitable for kids or old. The basin view trail has so much large grass grown at the end of the trail, that it is hard to see the basin at the end. As the name suggests a botanic garden, it is hard to see any marking or label for the trees or plant, about what they are trying to preserve or exhibit. So, for someone without knowledge about plants it is difficult to educate their kids about those. The little marking they have for botanic garden are very insufficient and are very common to the areas.

Was a nice outing and a very nice walk on the trails. Volunteers were very nice and the bathrooms were clean. Once they are done with the improvements, Im thinking it will be a 5 star outing.

Nice area for a comfortable walk with loved ones.

It has nothing to do with botanical gardens. The title is misleading. If it could be labeled something else such as nature trails, it would have been more enjoyable knowing what to expect. I would not have brought handicap family members.

Beautiful place! Traveled 70 miles to visit! Thank you for such beauty in the garden!

Still wonderful, the trails are well maintained and there is a great diversity in plant life. A fluffy grey squirrel seems to occupy the fairy garden area if you are patient and quiet enough to watch for the little guy.

Even in January, this place is wonderful. Nice trails to walk. Its the perfect place to get some fresh air and to get out of the house for a few hours. Will definitely be back when everything is in bloom!

We loved walking through the woods..it was beautiful and well conserved...will go again

Has been significantly improved over the past few years. An enjoyable place to walk.

Clean, quiet, and beautiful!

A very quit walking trail. Enjoyed the history lesson. Beautiful.

Beautiful atmosphere! First time visiting tonight for a Trout Unlimited meeting. Excited to join as a member and take advantage of this place even more.

Very well maintained oasis for nature walks. Young kids and dogs welcome.

Its very beautiful

Beautiful and well kept

Very well kept park. Great place to run too. Main loop is 0.72 miles. You can park down the hill next to the path until 4pm. Otherwise, you have to park up the hill, which is pretty steep.

Beautiful trails through dense forest and hills with streams throughout. Though there is a firing range right next to it, so you may hear gunshots more than birds depending on the day.

Very nice place to walk and had a guide at the start of the trails that gave us directions to her favorite areas to walk to. A majority of the area is natural plantlife rather than heavily planted gardens. That said the areas that are gardened are very well maintained and have good signage to indicate what is growing.

This is is incredible!

Great time and walk searching for fungi,. mushrooms.

Tranquil and well-maintained. A great visit!

Great place to go for a walk in any of the many trails it offers.

WVBG is a beautiful site with some display gardens (now well signed) with areas of native flora. There is a boardwalk across a natural wet/swampy area. There are explanatory signs throughout the property. We walked the 0.72 mile reservoir loop. There are multiple additional trails through the native plants (undeveloped) part of the property. There are bathrooms in the downhill side of the Visitor Center that enter from outdoors and are available for visitor use. We visit a few times a year, either for an official program or on our own, and always enjoy it.

Great for kids of all ages

Such a beautiful place....

Well it is nothing like what I seen online and the map that I had was confusing. I never found the butterflies

Very nice place to visit. Has several trails you can walk. Also historical facts about the area
