Babcock State Park is located along the New River Gorge about 20 miles from the New River Gorge Bridge. The park features a re-created grist mill called the Glade Creek Grist Mill, which is fully operable and allows visitors to experience a historical mill. Babcock State Park offers many amenities and facilities to visitors, including paddle-boats, canoes, and rowboats, which can be used on the park’s 19-acre Boley Lake.

Fishing is permitted both in Boley Lake and the park’s stream. Babcock features more than 20 miles of multi-use trails with several scenic overlooks. Park guides offer nature tours, talks, movie presentations, and other activities during the summer.
