Chief Logan State Park

Chief Logan State Park spans 4,000 acres of forested mountain terrain with hiking trails winding through the landscape. The grounds include a lodge, camping facilities, picnic areas, and recreational amenities for day visitors and overnight guests.

The park was established in 1969 and named after Chief Logan, a Mingo leader who lived in this region before the American Revolution. The name honors a key figure from the area's past and the Native American presence that shaped the region.

The amphitheater hosts summer performances that tell stories about the Native American communities who lived in this region. Visitors can watch outdoor theater and learn how these communities shaped the character of the land.

The park provides several lodging options from basic camping sites to a full-service lodge for overnight stays. Visitors will find picnic areas, water recreational facilities, and walking paths that are accessible at different difficulty levels.

A historic steam locomotive from the late 1800s stands on display in the park, serving as a reminder of the region's railroad heritage. This engine once transported coal and passengers through the mountain valleys of southern West Virginia.
