NORTH BEND STATE PARK trail traveler program
Are you a North Bend State Park regular? Maybe you are looking for a little extra motivation to start hiking and enjoy the great outdoors more often. Get involved in our North Bend State Park Trail Traveler program to put your best foot forward.
Get to know the park by hiking each trail North Bend has to offer. Our trail system will take you from access trails to mountain bike trails all while enjoying the beautiful scenery of rolling hills, wooded forests, and lake front paths. This self-guided program allows you to get our and explore the great outdoors at your own pace.
Your mission will be to complete each fantastic trail North Bend State Park has to offer. Each of our 18 trails will have a designated North Bend Selfie Station. It is your task to find each marker along the trail and grab a photo as the spot! Bonus points if you post your picture to social media with the #NBSPTrailTraveler. You might even be featured on one of our social media pages!
Keeping track of your completed trails will be important, so stop by our front desk to be issued your NBSP Trail Traveler punch card. When you have completed a trail, stop back by the front desk to get your trail checked off the list!
Upon completion of your NBSPTT punch card, you will be issued a certificate, which can be redeemed for Two Free Nights of Camping! Reservations must be made in advance and will be based on availability. Each household will be limited to two nights of camping. You will have one year to redeem this offer.
What you will receive when you sign up:
Trail Traveler Punch Card
List of trails
GPS coordinates upon request
We will give you a hint too: Keep an eye our for planned NBSP weekend hikes. One of our naturalists will be hosting a hike at each trail throughout the rest of the year. Trails led by the naturalist will gradually increase in difficulty to build up your hiking muscles for some of the longer outings.
Ever guided hike offered at NBSP can count towards your punch card. You can use these events to supplement your own adventures, or just come to an event on each different trail to fill up your card with a little extra motivation!
We can’t wait to see you on the trails! North Bend State Park can be reached by calling 304.643.2931 or email Naturalist Adam at Adam.L.Wissner@wv.gov.
