Holly River State Park, Hacker Valley, West Virginia
The dense forests of Holly River State Park provide guests with a natural feeling of peaceful solitude. Located near the center of the state in Webster County, it is far from the hustle and bustle of city life making it a perfect vacation getaway.

Holly River is the second largest park in the West Virginia park system with a total of 8,101 acres.
