After a nearly two-year replacement project, the tram at Pipestem Resort State Park will return to service Thursday.
The aerial tram at Pipestem will reopen after a ceremony Thursday morning, taking visitors into the Bluestone Gorge for the first time since December 2023.
The $15 million project replaced a tram that had been operating since 1971.
Pipestem’s Mountain Creek Lodge, which has a restaurant and a gift shop, also received updates.
The new six–passenger gondolas can operate at higher wind speeds – 54 mph vs 24 mph – and will be ADA compliant.
Passengers can also bring kayaks, bicycles and sporting gear.
Pipestem is a 4,000-acre park in southern West Virginia that opened 55 years ago this month.
