About
Grandview Shelter 1 is a reservable day-use picnic shelter situated near the North Rim Overlook in the Grandview area of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. The shelter is enclosed on three sides with a stone fireplace inside, two electrical outlets, one charcoal grill, and a fireplace grate. It can accommodate approximately 40 people inside the shelter and 35 outside. The Grandview area became part of New River Gorge National River in 1990 after more than 50 years as a West Virginia state park. The area offers spectacular views of the New River from 1,400 feet above, beautiful rhododendron displays, five hiking trails, a seasonal visitor center, and summer outdoor dramas. Nearby Beckley (12 miles) provides shopping, restaurants, and accommodations. This shelter requires climbing a small set of stone stairs and a short walk up a hill, making it not accessible for those with mobility limitations. Alcohol, glitter, confetti, fireworks, and drones are prohibited. Pets must be leashed.
Directions
From Beckley, follow I-64 East five miles to Exit 129 B. From Lewisburg, follow I-64 West forty miles to Exit 129. From either exit, turn right and follow Route 9 North six miles to Grandview.
