Pinnacle Rock State Park, State park in Mercer County, United States
Pinnacle Rock State Park is a 374-acre park in Mercer County featuring a 3,100-foot sandstone rock formation that rises prominently above the surrounding terrain. This geological feature shapes the landscape and provides expansive views across the Appalachian region.
The West Virginia Conservation Commission established this park in 1938 through initial land acquisition and later expanded it. The Works Progress Administration contributed to further development and infrastructure during the mid-20th century.
The site sits near Bramwell, a town whose preserved mansions reflect the coal mining era that shaped West Virginia's industrial development.
The park offers six miles of hiking trails with multiple access points suited to different fitness levels. Visitors can also fish at Jimmy Lewis Lake and take advantage of picnic areas with tables throughout the grounds.
The site contains two geocaching locations that invite visitors to search for hidden treasures using GPS technology among rock formations and wooded areas. These hidden spots offer adventure opportunities beyond the main walking routes.
