Hi, Yes, the park. Dad always took us there. Back in the days when it was not built up like it is now. We stood on the overlook rock and had our pictures taken, now it has a rail around it. There is a nice Lodge at the park too. Plus a tram car takes you down to the river if you do not want to walk and you can take a boat ride where the driver dodges the boulders. If it is a hot summer day he playfully makes the water splash you. There is more for younger people, like whitewater rafting. It is a lovely place.

Here is a web site that has a slide show of the New River Gorge at Hawks Nest State Park. As I said, it is a lovely place.
