Slippery Adventures at Pinnacle Rock State Park, West Virginia

Tucked away in Mercer County, Pinnacle Rock State Park transforms into a snow-draped wonderland in winter—ideal for adventure seekers craving stillness, scenic views, and a hint of challenge. The park’s highlight is the towering 3,100-ft sandstone Pinnacle Rock, offering breathtaking panoramic views—just be ready for icy, slippery trails. Sturdy waterproof boots and traction cleats (like Yaktrax) are essential, as are layers, a headlamp, and emergency gear. Hike over 6 miles of peaceful trails, warm up by the stone fireplace shelter, picnic with thermos-packed meals, or enjoy winter fishing at nearby Jimmy Lewis Lake. Use the AllTrails app and check the weather before heading out. Winter at Pinnacle Rock is more than a trip—it’s an unforgettable escape into nature’s quiet.
