List of West Virginia state parks

There are 39 state parks in the U.S. state of West Virginia as of 2025. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) Parks and Recreation Section is the governing body for all 39 state parks and directly operates all but one of them. In addition to state parks, the WVDNR Parks and Recreation Section governs nine state forests.

The first West Virginia state park, Droop Mountain Battlefield, was acquired in 1928 and dedicated in 1929; and the newest state parks, Elk River Trail and Summersville Lake, were established in 2019 and 2023, respectively. Four parks that later joined the state park system were established prior to Droop Mountain, the earliest being the Point Pleasant Monument (now Tu-Endie-Wei) in 1901. There are seven former West Virginia state parks: one state park was transferred to the National Park Service (NPS), one to the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, one to the West Virginia Division of Highways, and one to a municipality, and three have ceased to exist entirely.

This list provides an overview of West Virginia state parks and a brief history of their development and governance since the first state park was dedicated in 1929. State parks range in size from 4 acres (2 ha) to 10,100 acres (4,087 ha). Of the 39 state parks governed by the WVDNR Parks and Recreation Section, 10 are lodge/resort state parks, 25 are cabin, camping, and day-use state parks, and three are rail trails.
