About Babcock State Park
A restored gristmill sits along the wooded grounds that stretch across 4,127 acres above the New River Gorge. The land protects forested terrain roughly 20 miles from the New River Gorge Bridge, giving the park its setting within the gorge region. Trees cover most of the acreage, marking this as a heavily wooded tract rather than open parkland.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
