River Riders
River Riders is a one-stop shop for adventure sports, and rental bikes (half-day $20 to $30) to explore the C&O Canal Towpath. The scenic path follows the Potomac River. It’s not exactly technical mountain biking stuff, but it’s a beautiful ride. Or take a raft or kayak trip down the Shenandoah River (Class I-III). The rafting costs $55 to $75, the kayaking $65. Try the kayaking if you’re looking for more of an adrenaline rush. A cheaper (and equally fun) option is tubing. For $27 to $35 the company will give you a tube, life jacket and shuttle transport to and from the Potomac River. You’re then on your own to negotiate the Class I-III rapids.

National Radio Astronomy Observatory
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is home to the 328ft Green Bank Telescope, the largest movable radio dish in the world. The center lies within the country's only federal radio-free zone, which is why your car won't pick up any stations within 25 miles of the center.

Roman Baths
Don't let the locker-room appearance deter you from the Berkeley Springs State Park's Roman Baths; it's the cheapest spa deal in town. (Fill your water bottle with some of the magic stuff at the fountain outside the door.)
