pinnacle rock state park

Not a huge park but an unusual place. The rock is huge and the path to the top is not that long of a hike, so go and enjoy the view, which is spectacular. There is a nice shelter which we have visited many times. We like to go in the autumn when the air is chilled and build a fire in the fireplace. Several nice picnic areas. This is a special place to me, it is here that my parents met almost 55 years ago. My Dad was raised in the nearby community of Freeman and as a boy he climbed this rock many times. He tells a story of climbing with friends; one friend ahead of him slipped and Daddy saved him from falling.

an usual rock outcropping here with nice picnic area - this is a good place to stop and take in some of southern west virginia's scenic beauty.

Took a side trip to break the boredom of interstate travel down 77. Its a marvel of erosion, solid rock that looks like a wall that provides a good overlook from the top. Not much more to plan a day around so unless you are a hiker you will only need a half hour to see it.

The out cropping of rocks and the view was nice but not much else there to do. The rest rooms were clean and easy to find.

Lived near this part for 6 years. Visited it many many times and my sister even got married here in 2007. Even more beautiful in the fall when the leaves are changing!

Hiking in freezing weather yet the views were very good and the light snow make it appear even better. There were very few hikers out so we had the trails to ourselves.

Climbing Pinnacle rock was the thing to do. You can't do that anymore, but it was bragging rights when I was a child!

When heading to Historic Bramwell, WV you can't miss Pinnacle Rock State Park. Stop, climb the rocks and take some nice pictures.

There isn't much here: a few picnic tables, paths, and so forth. But, the view is fantastic and worth the climb. It isn't something that is worth planning a day around. I think we spent about an hour there. But, if you are passing through and have the opportunity then the view is definitely worth checking out.

A great outcropping in Southern West Virginia...beautiful view, nice picnic area!

Nice little stop as you drive the Coal Heritage Trail. It has a nice trail for hiking, restrooms and a great view of the valley.

The park is puttin gsome rather lengthy trails. The loca Boy Scout Order of the Arrow group worked on some of then within the past month. I was told that they're pretty good.

A beautiful place to picnic and sight see but one major problem! An outhouse as a restroom facility! That puts a damper on going. Other then that, its amazingly beautiful!
