This large state park is great for anyone who loves the outdoors.  They have camping facilities and numberous trails and pavilions.  The overlook is one of the most spectacular views in Morgantown.
The River

The Monongahelia River runs through Morgantown, and is hard to miss.  To thouroughly enjoy it, consider spending an afternoon on the rails to trails, a new trail system that is a converted railroad. It follows the river for several miles. One can rent bikes or skates or kayaks, or just walk.
Chestnut Ridge

This is the best place in Morgantown to go sledding.  On any given snowy day,
expect to see many teenagers sledding down the huge hill.  There is also a pond to swim in during the summer and playgrounds and hiking and cross country skiing opportunities.  It is near Cooper's Rock, and there are camping facilities nearby. 
The Lake

Cheat Lake is a popular destination on hot summer days.  You can rent a boat or fish or swim or walk around on the rails to trails.  It is a man made lake, created from the Cheat River by a dam.
