About

Grandview Shelter 4 is a reservable day-use picnic shelter located in the Grandview area of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

The shelter features one electrical outlet, two charcoal grills, and rearrangeable picnic tables. Guests may bring additional chairs and canopy tents. The Grandview area became part of New River Gorge National River in 1990 after serving over 50 years as one of West Virginia's most popular state parks. Located 1,400 feet above the river, the area offers spectacular views of the New River and beautiful rhododendron displays. Nearby amenities include a drinking fountain with side spigot, handicapped accessible restroom, playground equipment, horseshoe pit, volleyball court, baseball field, and basketball court. This is a day-use facility only and does not permit overnight camping. Alcohol, glitter, confetti, helium balloons, water balloons, fireworks, drones, and wading pools are prohibited.
