Reviews of Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park
"Absolutely beautiful! Very clean and the trails are well marked. A lovely historic place to visit. This is one of my favorite places."
"Awesome! Beautiful park! See below! Pics don't do justice but gives you an idea of what's at the park. There are trails you can walk, I did, awesome! Did I say it's awesome?"
"This is a beautiful, historical place. There is a quiet reverence to the area. The first time we stopped we were traveling home (north) from the Carolina’s when I just happened to see a sign for the historical battleground; since then, we’ve returned to Summersville twice to visit Carnifex. The views of the valley traveling the short distance through the countryside to reach the battle site are stunning. There is a lovely picnic area and the trail through the woods is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I like to visit during holidays that pay tribute to our veterans and honor the young men who lost their lives - on both sides."
"A very well maintained park. The park rangers are excellent at keeping the park clean for everyone. I've seen them wiping down the playground equipment. The views are beautiful. Great place to take the family!"
"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."
