Sunday, my husband and I drove to the Blue Bend Recreation with our chocolate lab, Zeke, for some play time, and relaxation.
From Lewisburg we drove north on Route 219 and made a left on Anthony Road and drove about 12 miles to the Blue Bend Recreation at Monongahela National Forest. Constructed in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps, Blue Bend is in a rustic and beautiful setting along scenic Anthony Creek. The area serves both campers and daytime visitors, and is popular for fishing, swimming, hiking, and picnicking.
As soon as we neared the water Zeke started to whimper, he wanted out of the car as he knew what was ahead for him.....fetch, fetch the stick...and swimming....lots of swimming.
We made our way to the water with Zeke, chairs, blankets and picnic basket. It was hard to keep Zeke on the leash as he was so excited. We had a great day throwing a stick in the river for Zeke to fetch. Zeke could do this all day, and never tire.
Upon arrival, we met some nice folks from Kentucky. They were telling us how much they love Blue Bend and usually visit three or more times every summer. Needless to say, their children had a blast playing with Zeke. This was my second time at Blue Bend. My husband comes more frequently to play fetch with Zeke.
We had a wonderful time playing, relaxing, and talking with other patrons of Blue Bend. I would recommend this area to anyone who just wanted to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Besides swimming, there is fishing, canoeing, biking, walking trails, camping, and so much more.
Here is a short video of our play time with Zeke fetching a stick and swimming.

Enjoyed your post about Blue Bend and playtime with Zeke. Your post was very well written and I am glad that you, your husband and Zeke had a fabulous day of relaxation & fun! Beautiful scenery! I enjoyed your video too! Thank you for sharing! Have a great week!
being from VA and spending lots of time in the Appalachians, seeing these beautiful scenes make me homesick! Thanks for sharing such lovely pics and videos!
Janie. I love the Appalachians...while working in DC I would drive home once a month, as I was homesick for the mountains, as well as my family. After working 35 years, I moved back to my roots, and I am loving it here.
Hi Rebecca, Blue Bend looks like a beautiful place, I was waiting for Zeke to do the inevitable shake, where everyone gets a shower! I guess that wouldn't be very good for the camera. I enjoyed this post very much, thank you!
Mary - Zeke did a lot of shaking, but I didn't take a shot of this action...My husband asked the dame question....what was I thinking...next time I'll get some shots of him shaking off the water.
