Went here for the famous Grandview overlook and it was such an amazing experience. There are a ton of trails for you to explore, with a wide range of difficulty. But as the name states, the Grandview is just beautiful and breathtaking. To get to the overlook, there is a parking lot close by to the entrance and its basically a short walk. If you wanted to explore more areas, there are signs with different trails for you to explore. It all loops back.

Today, Kayla Beth Fields , Deacon and I were on our way to a Labor Day Cookout at my cousin, Wanda Blackwell home. We stopped at Grandview State Park to use restrooms, enjoy the Beautiful Famous Horseshoe Bend Vista and play on the playground.We had a nice little 20 minute break from the road. Deacon enjoyed himself.

This is one of the must see sites for the New Gorge National Park.This is one of the two places that we went to see inside the park. The other was Turkey Spur which I would also highly recommend. This is easy to get to by automobile as it is right off of WV 9. It has a large parking lots, several trails, restrooms and a visitors center. The visitors center that was not open when we visited. The overlook is about 300 feet from the closest part of the parking lot (the east-most part). It is a sloping walk down to the overlook across a very nice sidewalk made from large stones. When the stones are wet, it may get a little wet so please be careful. There is also at least one trail leading off from this walkway to the south (right as your headed to the outlook). The overlook has a wooden fence/railing and a 2 tiered viewing area. The upper tier has an informational board showing where the various sites in the park are. It is an excellent view of the New River from 1400 feet above the New River. I highly recommend this to my fellow visitors in the area for its beautiful view.

Aptly named Grand view ... and yes the view is breathtaking. We only had a couple days so we were rushed to see as much as possible. We were at Babcock park and a guy taking pictures recommended Grandview as worth visiting for fall colors and scenery. We parked .. took the very short walk to the overlook.
