Babcock State Park is a wooded West Virginia park along the New River Gorge, known for its forest scenery and the Glade Creek Grist Mill, one of the state's most photographed landmarks. Named for Edward V. Babcock, the park's mill was completed in 1976 as a working replica of the nearby original Cooper's Mill, built from parts of three other West Virginia grist mills as a tribute to the hundreds that once operated statewide. Alongside this historic centerpiece, the park offers hiking trails, cabins, campsites, a lake for boating and fishing, sports facilities, and accessible features that help make it one of the state's signature family parks.
