grandview state park

The Grandview has a nice trail to walk on. The Lookout view is breathtaking. The only thing I wished it had was a gift shop to buy souvenirs. Otherwise it's a very nice park.

We only live minutes from Grandview but it is always one of our family favorite places to go. My wife and I actually got married at the overlook. Gorgeous views, nice peaceful trails with some great scenery. Nice play area for the kids. Good places to cook out or picnic. The outdoor amphitheater is a super fun thing for everyone too! All around there is something for everyone here.

This is primarily a day use park with playgrounds, hiking trails, picnic areas, and restrooms. The Grand Views are breathtaking. The night brings outdoor historical dramas such as Hatfields & McCoys and Honey in the Rock. A pre ordered dinner is available. It can get cool at night in the WV mountains so take jackets & blankets. Restrooms are throught the park. There is a small gift shop & food available at the dramas. There is a campground within 10 miles at Little Beaver State Park, as well as motels.

Lovely State Park. There is an amphitheater but of course its seasonal. They have many trails from beginners to the more advanced hiker, playground, basket and volley ball courts but the main reason for visiting is the beautiful overlook. Anytime of of year the view is breathtaking but i recommend the fall.

What a beautiful little park this is. This time of year the leaves are beautiful and the over look that shows the river is very pretty! they have a play ground for kids too which is really nice.

I'm local & this place never fails to astound me. Breathtaking in any season, the main overlook is spectacular in the fall. The light is good for photos until evening. Misty mornings are awesome as the mountaintops and river emerge from the clouds. My favorite trail is Castle Rock which travels a bench just below the cliffs. It is narrow and briefly steep at each end so wear good boots. Canyon Rim trail is an easy walk to Turkey Spur at the end of the ridge. There are stairs to the top of this rock formation, and another view of the New River as it winds around Stretcher Neck. Turkey Spur can also be reached by car during the warmer months. On the road are 3 additional picnic areas with playgrounds & shelters. There are 2 loop trails at one of the areas. The North overlook is located at another. There is a service road at the 3rd that goes about 2.5 mi. to the river. Come see this bit of our wild, wonderful state!

the natural beauty here is amazing to see. It is gorgeous to look at and take in. I love going here with family and friends for cookouts and picnics. If you visit southern WV you need to stop in and enjoy nature at its finest!

I visited Grand view during my first ever trip to West Virginia and it was absolutely breathtaking! Its a must see for all who visit. I took pictures there and the views look amazingly surreal even on a phone camera! Please visit this site! You will love it!!!

This is a great place to visit and spend a little time. I'm usually here in October, training at the National Mine Academy, and this is one of my favorite spots. The leaves this time of the year are beautiful...it's quite and a great place to visit and enjoy nature at her best!

My husband and I were traveling I 64 on our way to Louisville KY and decided on a lark to take the exit for this National Park. The views are incredible and not to be missed. The main gorge overlook is only a six mile drive from the interstate highway. My husband can't walk far and the walk to the main overlook is only about 250 yards from the parking lot. There are many trails for those prepared to do that but a quick stop gives you a great viewing experience.

This park is quiet and has lots to see. It has many trails and beautiful views. It is a great place to grab some charcoal and grill something quick and enjoy the majestic view of the New River

Just gorgeous! Only spent a short time here, but what I saw was breathtaking! Seemed to have nice trails, was very clean and ample parking.

Grandview is such a beautiful park. Amazing scenic views, fun trails, outdoor activities, and nice picnic shelters. At least go for the main overlook and you won't be disappointed with such a view. Some of the trails could use some fixing up as there are debris blocking parts, broken benches, etc. But overall, a beautiful park with lots to offer!

It's been on our bucket list for a while and this year we made the stop en route to Florida. Just the two of us but we know our teenagers would have loved it too. Very dramatic scenery only a short walk from the car. Enjoyed seeing an outdoor play within the park the same night. THE GOOD: World class scenery steps from the car, the Ranger who was waiting at the lookout with answers and great conversationTHE NOT SO GOOD: The canopy trail was closed, but we can't control Mother Nature!ADVICE: Do the look out trail and enjoy an outdoor play while you're there!
