Watoga State Park
West Virginia's largest state park, with a lake, forest cabins, a swimming pool and the Greenbrier River; ideal for family holidays.
Watoga State Park covers about 4,000 hectares. It was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and retains many stone-and-timber rental cabins from that era. The park has Watoga Lake for boating and fishing, a swimming pool open in summer, several forest trails, and the neighbouring Brooks Memorial Botanical Garden and Calvin Price State Forest. The Greenbrier River Trail passes along the edge of the park. Entry is free, while cabins and camping require advance reservations. It is about 45 km from Snowshoe.
