Babcock State Park, State park in Fayette County, West Virginia
The park extends across 4,127 acres of forest land, featuring Boley Lake, Glade Creek, and numerous hiking trails through mountainous terrain and woodlands.
The park was established in 1934 with the help of two Civilian Conservation Corps camps, Camp Beaver and Camp Lee, which developed initial facilities.
The Glade Creek Grist Mill, constructed in 1976, combines parts from three historical mills to demonstrate traditional grain grinding methods of West Virginia.
The park maintains 52 camping sites with electric hookups, bathhouses, and laundry facilities, along with 28 cabins equipped for extended stays.
Visitors can purchase fresh cornmeal and buckwheat flour produced directly at the working Glade Creek Grist Mill using traditional milling techniques.
