Stuart Park is located approximately 7 miles west of
Elkins, WV. For locals and visitor's alike a journey into Stuart's will generally
be remembered for a lifetime.

 |
Stuart has a number of camping sites which now include
water and electric. There is a charge for overnight camping and
reservations are sometimes needed. |
 |
Rhododendron is everywhere and there are few things in
life as satisfying as walking a path surrounded by these beautiful
trees. |
 |
Another fine point about this park is the open fields that
have been host to many picnics, parties, ball games, and just general
lounging around. |
 |
The small pavilion now has a $2.00 per car parking sign
out front. |
 |
From the pavilion steps you can look out at the Cheat
river. |
 |
The beautiful Cheat river. |
 |
Wooded areas surround the fields and do a great job of
providing shelter from the summer heat. |

 |
One of my pleasures is to walk from the small pavilion to
the swimming hole through the wooded area. |

The swimming area. |
 |
Anyone who has been to Stuart park will remember the
rock on the other side of the river from the swimming hole. The
water is cool even in the summer! |
 |
The big pavilion in mid-spring waiting for the season to
begin. |
 |
The giant oaks and maples provide shade from the hot
summer's days. |
 |
They moved the pavilion from Roosevelt park and placed it
in Stuart a few years back. |

Just above the horseshoe turn. You take the high
road and I'll take the low road! |
