For most visitors, the best time to go to Kingwood is during the summer months, from June to August, and especially in the fall, from late September through October.Summer offers consistently pleasant weather, ideal for outdoor activities around Cheat Lake, located a short drive north of Kingwood. You'll find opportunities for boating, kayaking, and fishing. The community often hosts local events and farmers' markets during this period, providing a relaxed, friendly experience.However, the fall is truly Kingwood's peak season for visitors. The region is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage, with the mountainsides ablaze in reds, oranges, and yellows. This is an excellent time for scenic drives through Preston County's rolling hills and exploring local orchards and pumpkin patches.
