Before the turn of the century, West Virginians were drawn to the natural beauty of the Middle Fork River and its surroundings. This area is now Audra State Park, a heavily wooded riverside campground that continues to awe visitors.
|
The
campground consists of 65 tent and trailer sites, two bathhouses with
modern facilities, and a centrally located playground. There are
coin-operated washing machines and dryers. A dumping station is
located nearby. |
Recreation
People
who love the outdoors will not be disappointed. The gorgeous woodlands
surrounding Middle Fork River provide the perfect setting for both hiking and
picnicking. Alum Cave boasts unique scenery. The most breathtaking view can be
seen while walking the boardwalk built along the cave's overhanging ledge.
Swimming is allowed in the Middle Fork River. Although it is not an
Olympic-sized pool, it is majestic nonetheless since Mother Nature carved it out
of the earth.
Kayaking
Whitewater enthusiasts enjoy boating the Middle Fork River. This activity is
permitted at your own risk. To check the water flow in real time, visit
the USGS water resources page. Choose the Monongahela river basin and
then check water flows for the Middle Fork at Audra, WV.
History buffs can entertain themselves with the history of the park. The
spillway of a gristmill used in the early 1900s can still be seen today.
