Annual Recreational Visits To W.Va. National Park Sites

The National Park Service oversees four recreational parks in West Virginia, bringing in millions of visits last year. All but the Bluestone National Scenic River saw increases in turnout between 2023 and 2024.

Four line charts sit in two rows of two. Three, labeled "New River Gorge," Harpers Ferry" and "Gauley River" show an increase over time, whereas one labeled "Bluestone River" shows a marginal decrease over time.
Figures represent the number of documented recreational visits to each park per year, as reported by the National Park Service.
