Fall is almost here and while we’re sad to see the lazy days of summer come to an end, we’re excited for cool nights by the river, the colorful fall foliage in downtown West Point and the King William countryside, the merriment of Crab Carnival, and all the wonder of autumn in #WPKW.

You’ve heard us say before that we think our little piece of Virginia is a special place to visit all year-round, but there’s truly something magical about West Point and King William in the fall. Whether it’s a grabbing a coffee or ice cream from The Lazy Cow Ice Cream Parlor and strolling down the tree-lined streets of West Point’s historic shopping and dining district, hiking under a canopy of colorful fall flora in Sandy Point or Zoar State Forests in King William, fishing on a crisp autumn day at Glass Island, enjoying a fresh seafood dinner at one of our area’s award-winning restaurants, or paddling the Mattaponi and Pamunkey rivers, there’s much to see and do in fall in #WPKW.
