Lake Area
Covering over
2,100-acres of rugged, heavily forested, mountainous
terrain, Bluestone State Park provides a wide range
of water-oriented activities for guests and
residents of southern West Virginia.
In the midst of
this wilderness park, just five miles south of
Hinton, are nestled modern cabins, a campground and
fine recreational facilities. The extra plus is that
Bluestone is adjacent to Bluestone Lake, the state's
third largest body of water.
Several points of
historical and recreational interest are located in
the Bluestone area. For instance, famous outdoor
musical dramas such as “Hatfields and McCoys,”
are performed at Grandview Park, near Beckley.
Just north of the
park is Bluestone Dam, Historic Hinton, and the New
River Gorge National River, the center of some of
the state's best whitewater rafting and canoeing. Of
special note is Sandstone Falls, just north of
Hinton.
Bluestone National Wild and Scenic River
flows into Bluestone Lake within the Park
boundaries. Hunting and fishing opportunities
abound at 17,632-acre Bluestone Wildlife Management
Area adjacent to the park and nearby Camp Creek
State Forest. Or
