A very interesting formation of bedrock with boardwalks running through, off of 219 about 40 minutes north of Lewisburg.

Incredible rock formations, with layers of fern crevassed rocks creating a naturally lush garden, peaceful and calming. The trail is not long and easy on the feet. Great when hot out, very cool here!

Beartown State Park The name "Beartown State Park" was chosen because local residents claimed that many cave-like openings in the rocks made ideal winter dens for the native black bears, the state animal of West Virginia. Also because the many deep, narrow crevasses were formed in a regular criss-cross pattern which appear from above like the streets of a small town. Beartown is noted for its unusual rock formations, which consist of Droop, or Pottsville, Sandstone formed during the Pennsylvanian age. Massive boulders, overhanging cliffs and deep crevasses make up the beauty of the park.
