Named for the horseshoe curve of the North Fork
of the Hughes River, North Bend State Park offers a multitude of
recreational facilities in a beautiful pastoral setting. The fishing
streams, hiking trails, abundant wildlife and excellent overnight
accommodations are among this year-round park's most popular features. The
park also features the 72 mile North Bend Rail Trail, which is a trail
designed for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. The rail trail
runs along the old B & O Railroad bed from Parkersburg, WV to Wolf Summit,
near Clarksburg, WV.
