Holly River State Park is a state park located in Webster County, West Virginia. Situated on the Left Fork of the Holly River near the town of Hacker Valley, it is the second largest park in the West Virginia state park system with a total of {{convert|8294|acre}}.[2] The park features over {{convert|42|mi|km}} of hiking trails, ten vacation cabins, an 88-unit campground, and many recreation and picnic areas.

History

The creation of Holly River State Park began circa 1937 with the Farm Security Administration's Kanawha Head Project to resettle families from marginal farmland.[4] 250 Works Progress Administration workers rehabilitated the land and constructed facilities in the project area.[4] Holly River State Park was formed in 1938 when the West Virginia Conservation Commission took control of the area, and the state obtained ownership of the site in 1954.[4][5]

Recreation

Holly River features a seasonal swimming pool, a softball field, and courts for playing basketball, volleyball, tennis, and other popular activities. Special activities such as guided hikes, movie nights, and sporting events are offered during the summer.[6]

Trails

Holly River has over {{convert|42|mi|km}} of hiking and biking trails.[7] Two trails, Ridge Road Trail and Rock Camp Trail, are designated as horse trails.[8]

Accommodations

Cabins

Holly River features ten furnished cabins constructed in the 1930s using local natural stone and timber. Situated along a tributary of Laurel Fork Holly River, each cabin includes a stone fireplace.[9]

Windy Gap School

Located at {{Coord|38|39|57|N|80|21|16|W|name=Windy Gap School}}

Windy Gap School is a former one-room schoolhouse that was located on a remote tract of land owned by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The Holly River State Park Foundation led a volunteer project to relocate the schoolhouse to near the park headquarters to make it more accessible to visitors.[16]

Tecumseh Falls

Located along the Reverie Trail, Tecumseh Falls was named after a Shawnee Native American prophet who predicted a solar eclipse.[5] The falls drops {{convert|10|ft|m}} from a rock ledge that overhangs the trail.[17] It can be best seen during winter.[18]

Holly River Festival

The Holly River Festival has been held annually during Labor Day weekend at the park since 1992.[5] The family-oriented festival features activities such as a talent show, live music, contests, crafts, old-time games, and exhibitions.[19][5]

Accessibility

Accessibility for the disabled was evaluated by West Virginia University in 2005. The campground, picnic shelters, swimming pool, and playground were found to be accessible, but issues were identified with signage and slippery stairways.[20]
