Grandview State Park

From West Virginia (WV) Cyclopedia

Grandview State Park, in Raleigh County, northeast of Beckley, West Virginia, was acquired by the National Park Service in 1990 and absorbed into the New River Gorge National River. Grandview was a favorite picnic spot for local farmers until the 1950s when it became a state park. Today, thousands of visitors tour its trails and overlooks every year and, in summer, attend the outdoor dramas "Hatfields & McCoys" and "Honey in the Rock," in repertoire at the park's Cliffside Amphitheatre since 1967.
