After more than 50 years as one of West Virginia’s most popular state parks, Grandview was transferred to the National Park Service in 1990. Here there are overlooks of the New River, five hiking trails, ranger-led walks and talks, summer outdoor dramas, and picnic areas with playgrounds. The children’s playgrounds, recreation area, and additional walkways were built from 1961 to 1964. The Grandview Visitor Center is one of our seasonal visitor centers, typically open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Construction began in 1960 on the 1200-seat Cliffside Amphitheater. The Civilian Conservation Corps built roads, shelters, and a picnic area, all still in use today. In 1939, the state of West Virginia purchased 52 acres of land at Grandview to develop a day use park. Grandview was originally a part of the West Virginia State Park system. Grandview is home to Theatre West Virginia, which features outdoor drama presentations from June through August. Information about renting picnic shelters at Grandview can be found on the Permits and Reservations page of this website. The Grandview section of the park includes overlooks of the New River, a visitor center (open seasonally), five hiking trails, ranger-led walks and talks, summer outdoor dramas, and picnic areas with playgrounds.

I know how nerve wracking that day can be for the groom to be!Īs soon as they arrived, Kyle & I made eye contact, and I went and follow them discretely so Emmaly wouldn’t notice anything strange. The Yadkin Valley is the grand view seen below, where the beautiful mountains and valleys seem to. While they were in their way, I told Kyle to take his time and propose to her once he got comfortable.
The day of, I arrived half an hour earlier to The Grandview Overlook in Mt. Once we had everything set up, I was in constant communication with Kyle to make sure everything went out smoothly.
Since Kyle & Emmaly were coming from Ohio and hadn’t visited Pittsburgh before, I offered a couple of suggestions I thought could go great as their engagement location.
Jill went on to tell me what a beautiful pair they were, and that she wanted to gift them their engagement session. Jill, Kyle & Emmaly’s friend contacted me to know if I had availability the second weekend of June because Matt wanted to propose to his girlfriend.
