What is there to do in Davis?

The question should be: what isn’t there to do in Davis? From art galleries and live music to locally-sourced restaurants and award-winning craft beer, from world-class mountain biking and hiking trails to world-famous waterfalls and wilderness areas, Davis and the greater Tucker County region have you covered.

With four distinct and unique seasons, there are more things to do in and around Davis than you can shake a red spruce branch at. Some of Davis’s best attractions are available year-round, such as many local businesses and downtown’s thriving social and cultural scene. Others are seasonal, such as fall and the Leaf Peeper’s Festival or winter and cross-country skiing in the state parks. Whether you’re looking to get after it or let your worries melt away, you’ll always have an abundance of activities to keep you busy or relaxed during your visit.

Outdoor activities, such as hiking, are top-notch year-round. Many visit the area several times per year to see their favorite nooks and crannies–such as waterfalls, bogs, meadows, and stunning viewpoints–change with the seasons. From Dolly Sods Wilderness to Blackwater Falls State Park and everything in between, Davis is a paradise for landscape photographers.

If you’ve got a competitive streak, come test your mettle each season in some of the country’s toughest bike and foot races like the Revenge of the Rattlesnake XC mountain bike race and the Highlands Sky 40KM ultrarun. If you’re more of a spectator, bring a chair, a cowbell, and your favorite beverage to cheer on some of the region’s best athletes.

If you prefer some culture with your adventure, each May be sure to visit Davis and its neighboring town, Thomas, for the annual three-day Art Spring festival, which celebrates Tucker County’s unmistakably unique and thriving art scene. And there’s always live music going on somewhere, whether it’s a local band performing in one of the area’s cozy venues or some pickin’ on the porch.
