Review:
Watoga State Park is West Virginia's largest state park, spanning over 10,000 acres throughout Pocahontas County near the city of Seebert. The park is named for the Cherokee indigenous word for "starry waters," opened to the public as a recreational facility in 1937. It is home to the beautiful 400-acre Fred E. Brooks Memorial Arboretum, which was named in honor of the 20th-century naturalist and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can enjoy excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout the year, including opportunities for swimming at the park's public swimming pool and fishing at its lovely fishing reservoir. 34 rental cabins provide opportunities for overnight stay, along with two campgrounds featuring electric hookup and primitive campsites.
