About Twin Falls Resort State Park

 

Twin Falls Resort State Park is located near Peterstown in Monroe County, West Virginia, along the banks of the Greenbrier River. This 3,776-acre park is set within the Appalachian Mountains and features a mix of hardwood forests, wetlands, and river valleys. The park’s signature attractions are two stunning waterfalls—Lower and Upper Twin Falls—that cascade down rugged cliffs, providing scenic vistas and popular photography spots. Established in 1964, the park combines both developed and natural recreational opportunities. Visitors can enjoy over 12 miles of hiking trails that wind through forests and along streams, offering glimpses of native plants and wildlife like white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and various songbirds. The park is well-known for its fall colors, abundant fishing opportunities on the Greenbrier River, and forested mountain biking trails. In winter, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing become popular activities. Twin Falls Resort State Park also operates a full-service lodge, campground, and cabins, making it a convenient base for multi-day outdoor exploration. Its proximity to the Virginia border adds to its regional appeal for visitors from multiple states. The park’s natural beauty, recreational variety, and comfortable accommodations provide a well-rounded outdoor experience in southern West Virginia’s scenic landscape.
