    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.

    I love this park that have many view points without a lot of hiking. I can see myself coming here every year before I ever go back to Gatlinburg to busy now to enjoy. There are many trails you can easily get to from most parking lots The scenery is breathtaking peace and quiet

    Overlook view right

    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.

    Great gorge river

    Great place for fantastic view. Nice hiking trails with plenty of wildlife. A real nice place to have a picnic and enjoy some family and friends times. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking to get away and just relax and enjoy nature

    Grandview State Park is such a gorgeous place to visit. I visited this last week and it was fall colors galore. The foliage was beautiful and amazing. The weather was crisp and perfect for visiting. We came from out of town to visit for the weekend. I had such a good time with my fiancé. We had came in September, but we didn't have time to see this national park. But the second time we came we came to this national park first because we had wanted to see this park so badly. It didn't disappoint either. It was breathtaking, amazing, peaceful, and just something you wouldn't want to miss. I would suggest to wear some comfortable shoes, the top half of the over look is accessible for wheel chairs. But the second half is where you get closer, is not wheel chair accessible. It's all rocky and a lot of climbing and unsteady for someone is who could be in a wheelchair. Overall would suggest it, and there are tons of little paths you can hike as well while you are there too!

    To get to the overlook, there is a parking lot close by to the entrance and its basically a short walk.

    Absolute worst camping experience of my entire life. The people running this place had the nerve to…read morecall me literally the morning of my reservation and tell me my reservation was not being honored, the last thing I want to hear when out of state and hundreds of miles away from home while on a trip I spent countless hours preparing for. Total bullshit. Ruined my whole day and tainted my visit to West Virginia and New River Gorge. Don't bother camping here unless you want to be moved to a shitty site with more noise and less privacy that you didn't pay for and don't want. I spent a considerable amount of time researching third-party websites for views and reviews of specific sites before booking. They granted me the indignity of having to camp literally right next to the one I paid for and reserved in advance while someone else camped in the site I booked and was looking forward to. They claim they overbooked, but it was a different site than mine and on a previous day - making it entirely irrelevant to my reserved site the day of - they just couldn't be bothered to ask the person in my reserved site to move now that others were opened. Instead of asking the double-booked person to move to the one I was given, they made it my problem. Extremely unprofessional and just plain wrong. It's ridiculous that they even have a system which supposedly allows for double-booking in the first place. I never would have booked the site they replaced mine with. I checked out the site but never checked in (the RV people were right on the other side of the trees behind my site, something I had intentionally tried to avoid), ended up camping for free at Grandview Sandbar Campground instead. If I wanted that site I would have reserved it, but I didn't and would not have. Completely defeats the purpose of making a reservation if they aren't going to honor it. Little Beaver State Park Campground is run by incompetent and inconsiderate people. Flawed booking system and inept individuals ruining a public institution. Total joke, shame on them. "We hope you don't mind". Damn right I mind, you took my money for a reservation you didn't keep! I hated my non-stay with a passion and will never be back.

    Love this place. My getaway favorite walking path around the soothing moving lake. There's fishing…read moreand a few really nice picnic areas. Very clean and calm and a place to even relax with a good book (bring a chair) and enjoy the full bright sunshine and outstanding natural scenery.

    An amazing set of Falls. See the Lower falls if you can…read more This is one of the best sights along the entire drive. There are 3 different sights to see at this stop. There are upper, middle and lower falls. Let's start at the beginning. There is a parking lot for about 30 cars directly off the road. There is a set of restrooms in the parking lot across from the trailhead. The trailhead has a solid pathway of switchbacks that leads to an observation point to the upper falls viewpoint. For people that want to shortcut the windy path, there is a straighter trail that goes directly down the hill to the first viewpoint. From there, there is a boardwalk with lots of steps that leads down the a bridge that crosses the river. Then more boardwalk and a steel set of stair to two platforms to view the middle falls. More boardwalk along the river and a large wooden stair platform leads to the lower falls. If you get a chance, you should see all three as each is unique and all are beautiful as much as the walk is enjoyable. Just remember, walking down is easy and you have to walk back up to return to the parking lot. Well worth the walk. Enjoy.

    This was an unexpected find on my trip to WV. The trail was nice, if a little strenuous for this…read morefatman, and the water falls (plural) were lovely. It is a well developed trail with lots of stairs, including an actual stairwell to get you to the bottom of the falls. If you are mobile and in the area you should visit, just give yourself some time on the hike back if your a big person like myself.
