DAVIS, W.Va. — State Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette says he wasn’t too old to enjoy a new attraction at one of the state’s most popular state parks Wednesday. Burdette was one of the first to go down the sled run at Blackwater Falls State Park in Tucker County.
“It was a very cool experience. I got to go up and ride down a couple of times and didn’t break any bones,” the 59-year-old Burdette joked. “I just had a great time. It’s a real great addition to West Virginia state parks.”
The run has been tabbed the longest sled run on the East Coast. It’s more than a quarter-mile long. The Wonder Carpet conveyor system that takes sledders back up the mountain is also believed to be the longest in the region.
