HIKING: Moncove Lake State Park

← WV NEW RIVER HINTON WV Triple Blaze →

Description

There are five hiking trails on the park and surrounding Wildlife Management Area that guests can enjoy. The trails are relatively short with the longest being around 2 miles, although the terrain may cause them to seem longer. Anyone interested in longer or sustained hikes may want to investigate the nearby Allegheny Trail on Peter's Mountain which runs the length of the state, the southern terminus of which connects to the Appalachian Trail. While hiking in our area, you are almost certain to encounter some of the wildlife found here. Be on the lookout for white-tail deer, turkey, fox, bobcat, coyote, squirrels, chipmunks, and beaver.

Directions

From I-64: Get off at the Lewisburg exit and follow Rt. 219 South to Union. In Union, take WV Route 3 to Gap Mills. Then go north on County Route 8 for approx. 6 miles.
