About Beech Fork State Park

Beech Fork State Park sits along a lake in western West Virginia and is geared toward time on the water. Visitors can stay in campgrounds or cabins, and the park serves as a family-oriented getaway. It sits on the tailwater side of a flood control lake built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Because it has drawn local residents since the 1970s, it is a familiar recreation spot for people from Barboursville, Huntington, and nearby communities.
