About Valley Falls State Park
Valley Falls State Park preserves land that once held a community built around lumber and grist mills. Its main draw is a cluster of four waterfalls fed by the Tygart Valley River, set within a large wooded parkland. The park is a day-use facility on both banks of the river, so visitors come to hike, enjoy the scenery, and learn about the area's history, but cannot stay overnight on site.
