Chief Logan State Park in southern West Virginia spans 3,988 acres about 4 miles north of Logan and serves as both a recreation area and a cultural site. Named for Chief Logan, a Mingo leader who lived in the region before the American Revolutionary War, it reflects the valley’s Native American history through features such as the Liz Spurlock Amphitheater, known for The Aracoma Story and other seasonal productions. The park also offers extensive visitor amenities, including a lodge and conference center opened in 2006, trails, camping, sports and picnic facilities, a wildlife exhibit of native species, a museum with changing art and history displays, and a preserved Chesapeake and Ohio steam locomotive.
