Lost River State Park is an out-of-the-way state park tucked away in Mathias, West Virginia. If you’ve visited this park, you know what a hidden treasure it is. Even if you haven’t, you may have heard tell of it – this is the state park with the Cranny Crow Overlook, a remote observation shelter from which you can see five counties and two states. It also has 26 vacation cabin rentals, miles of hiking trails, and thousands of acres of beautiful mountain terrain.

Here's what you might not have known about Lost River State Park: you can tour it by horseback.
