Located along Route
52, near historic Bramwell in Mercer County,
Pinnacle Rock State Park is one of the more
interesting wayside parks operated by the West
Virginia State Park system.
 Towering above the
rugged mountains of southeastern West Virginia,
Pinnacle Rock is an unusual sandstone formation
reaching 3,100 feet above sea level. This park
provides a relaxing picnic area in an unusual scenic
setting.
The park was opened
in 1938 when the Conservation Commission purchased a
26 acre tract of land surrounding the rock. Parking
areas, walkway and a large picnic shelter with a
stone fireplace were then constructed by the Works
Progress Administration (WPA) in conjunction with
the state of West Virginia. Today there are nearly
400 acres which include Jimmy Lewis Lake (seasonally
stocked with trout) located nearby within the park
boundary.
Picnic shelter with
stone fireplace - seats approximately 75 people.
Picnic areas with
grills. 2 mile hiking trail between Pinnacle Rock
and Jimmy Lewis Lake.
Overlook area from
atop Pinnacle Rock. Accessible restrooms at lake and
shelter areas.
