Hawks Nest State Park east of Fayettville is among West Virginia's most popular state park destinations. Protecting 270 acres on the northern rim of the New River Gorge, the park is beloved for its panoramic vistas -- from the lodge, aerial tram, and from its overlooks. Stone buildings, including the park museum and main overlook visit complex, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and may be of particular interest to historians. The park's main overlook, Hawks Nest, was originally called Marshall's Pillar, named for U.S. Chief Justice John Marshall, who visited the site in the early 1800s. http://www.hawksnestsp.com/

Pipestem Resort State Park, a resort park in Summers County,  south of Hinton, WV is among West Virginia's most popular state park destinations.

Grandview State Park, in Raleigh County, northeast of Beckley, WV, was acquired by the National Park Service in 1990 and absorbed into the New River Gorge National River. Thousands of visitors tour its trails and overlooks every year and, in summer, attend the outdoor dramas  "Hatfields and McCoys" and "Honey in the Rock," in repertoire at the park's Cliffside Amphitheater since 1967. http://www.nps.gov/neri/gwvc.htm
