Beech Fork State Park
Beech Fork State Park is a state park located in Wayne County and Cabell County, West Virginia. The park is located on the tailwater shores of Beech Fork Lake, a flood control impoundment of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Beech Fork of Twelvepole Creek. Since its development in the mid-1970's, Beech Fork State Park has proven to be a popular recreation spot for the residents of nearby Barboursville and Huntington, West Virginia, as well as those living in the surrounding region. The park is located about 10 miles south of the Hal Greer Exit (Exit 11) of Interstate 64.
Access to the park is also available from Exits 8, 15, and 20 of I-64. The Beech Fork Lake Dam and Marina are about a 20 mile (40 minute) drive from the park.
Corps of Engineers lake rules restrict boat motors to 10-hP or smaller.
