Beartown State Park is a charming 110-acre state park located just southwest of the city of Hillsboro, along the eastern summit of majestic Droop Mountain within Greenbrier County. The park was established with the assistance of the Nature Conservancy in 1970, named in honor of caves in the region that were believed to provide winter den spaces for area populations of native black bears. Unusual rock formations and cave systems line the park's lands, created from Pottsville sandstone formations dating back to the Pennsyvlanian age. Visitors can view majestic boulders, overhanging cliffs, and deep crevasses throughout the park, which are frequently covered with ice and snow in unique ways throughout the winter months. A half-mile boardwalk walk traverses many of the park's most notable natural wonders, open to the public between April and October.
