I love the history here and learning many things about the area in just this one spot. Nice play ground for all the kids and many different trails for exploring. We always have our family reunion here using one of the gazebos

Absolutely gorgeous lookouts over the Gauley. There are three along the two-mile hiking loop, which is an easy-to moderate trek. The trail is lush with ferns, wild mushrooms (don't forage these), and unique natural formations.
The grounds are well-kept with picnic and recreational areas. There are also historical monuments and markers related to the battle that occurred here during the Civil War.response / report this review -

This is a small scale historic battlefield during the beginning of the Civil War. It is very family oriented. Several very nice hiking trails and some beautiful views of the Gauley River. I would suggest packing a picnic lunch. Anyone interested in Civil War history I think would enjoy the visit.

It's worth the stop if you are close and you like civil war sites, otherwise not worth going out of your way for.

I love visiting Carnifex Ferry. I grew up having family outings here every summer. I brought my own children here and it's one of our favorite places.
