The park successfully combines its rich historical roots with modern facilities, providing a quiet and rejuvenating escape from the urban hustle of nearby Parkersburg while maintaining a rustic and authentic atmosphere for all visitors.
Location & Surroundings
Situated approximately 12 miles east of Parkersburg, the park is perfectly positioned within the beautiful landscapes of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The surrounding terrain is characterized by rolling hills and dense hardwood forests, offering a true Appalachian experience for every camper. Its convenient location near Route 50 makes it easily accessible for larger rigs, yet it remains secluded enough to provide a peaceful environment dominated by the sights and sounds of nature rather than highway traffic.

Volcano Days is a festival at Mountwood Park. Lots to see, products for sale. A log cabin that has a room with items to sale, and to share the history of that era. Good place and good people.

We stopped here to stretch our legs on our cross country trip. We hiked Quick Out, To The Moon and Copperhead from the Marina trailhead and picked up a grocery along the way. These trails are very well maintained and had excellent maps and directional signs at intersections. Although not trail bikers ourselves we were impressed with the jumps made from fallen logs. These trails are a nice blend for both hikers and bikers.

We went on a hike starting at the parking area F, and then followed the Walter Tait Trail, Lake Trail, Four Corners Trail, Mansion Trail, Power Line Trail, and Minniehaha Trail. It was really pretty and very interesting. It was wet and muddy, but we still enjoyed the hiking and views.

I like to take the kids here and do a picnic and walk around. One year, we rented a camping site for my kid's birthday so that we could safely have a fire pit and woods and bathrooms and human help. Beautiful park. Easy access.
