About Wilderness Road State Park

The former Wilderness Road runs through roughly 310 acres of land near Cumberland Gap and Ewing, Virginia, forming the core of this park. Standing within its grounds are the Karlan Mansion and a reconstructed version of the original Martin's Station fort, giving visitors two distinct historic structures to see on the same property.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
