The official Site of
Hawks Nest State Park
Welcome
Nestled in the heart of whitewater rafting country, Hawks Nest State Park encompasses 276 acres bordering a rugged section of the New River Gorge National River.
Long known for its panoramic views, the park offers a modern, 31 room lodge for the comfort of overnight guests.
Below the lodge, the New River forms peaceful Hawks Nest Lake. Above the lake, the narrow canyon and rushing water create one of the most challenging whitewater boating waterways in the nation.
