Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Pocahontas State Park adventure.
Discover Pocahontas State Park's natural beauty and outdoor adventures.
Bring your brushes and watercolors, because you’ll be painting with all the colors of the wind here at Pocahontas State Park. Let the park’s three sparkling lakes or rich, green forest be your muse; a canoe paddle is just a big paintbrush, right? Whether you choose to explore by kayak, foot or horse, there’s nature to marvel at and land to traverse. Scope out the clear, green waters for bluegill and catfish, or head to the pool for a race down the water slides. If you can’t choose between a relaxing day on the water or a high-adrenaline adventure, Pocahontas has the full spectrum of activities from lackadaisical to heart-racing. Either way, end the day with a pond-side picnic or a nap in the canoe, and you’ll have the voices of the mountain stuck in your head all week.
The best time to visit Pocahontas State Park is during spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most vibrant. Summer offers a full range of activities but expect higher temperatures and more visitors. Winters are quieter but chillier, with some facilities closed for the season.
