Lost River State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lost River State Park is an array of recreational facilities located in Hardy County, West Virginia four miles (6 km) west of West Virginia Route 259 near the community of Mathias. The park encompasses 3,712 acres (1502 hectares) of terrain that serve as a family vacational site. Lost River State Park is managed by West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.

The park features a selection of twenty-six vacation cabins. It also provides hiking trails, horses, a swimming pool, and other sports facilities that include tennis, badmington, volleyball, and archery. Lost River State Park includes the historic Lighthorse Harry Lee Cabin (c. 1800), which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The park is located near the site of the 1756 Battle of Lost River, a skirmish between Virginia militia and a band of French and Indian warriors, during the French and Indian War.^[1]
