- Day use only, adjoining the Point Pleasant riverfront floodwall murals
- Confluence views of two major rivers
What you can do here
Two major rivers meet here, the Kanawha and the Ohio, and that confluence is the subject — four acres of riverfront holding a monument and the Mansion House museum. The Point Pleasant floodwall murals adjoin the park. It is day use only, so plan around light on the water rather than anything at either end of the night.
Four acres do not make a run, but they make a start and a finish. The park sits on the Point Pleasant riverfront at the confluence of the Kanawha and Ohio, adjoining the floodwall murals, so the mileage has to come from the town's riverfront rather than the park itself. Day use only — check hours before an early or late outing.
Local organizations
A junction of two large rivers concentrates whatever moves along water, and this four-acre park gives you a bank to stand on right at it. There is no habitat depth to work — riverfront, a monument, a museum, and the floodwall murals next door. Day use only, so the first hour of light may fall outside open hours. Check before you go.

West Virginia has roughly 1.5 million acres of public land and a handful of places that carry almost all of the attention. The consequence is that a great deal of very good ground sits nearly empty, usually for one of three reasons: nobody has heard of it, the road in is gated or rough, or it is undeveloped and has nothing to advertise. Those are the places below — of them across regions.
