Babcock State Park

Arguably one of West Virginia’s most photographed spots, Babcock State Park in Clifftop is home to the Glade Creek Grist Mill, a rustic structure perched beside a cascading waterfall. Explore the trails, take the mill tour, or rent a paddleboat from Boley Lake Marina. In the summer, you can splash in the New River Gorge or spend a quiet afternoon picnicking by the stream. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped directly into Appalachian postcard perfection!
