Audra State Park is a West Virginia state park located on 355 acres (1.44 km2) in southwestern Barbour County. It was established around the remnants of an early 19th-century gristmill and the tiny community of Audra. A gristmill spillway is still visible in the river.With our custom trip planner, Buckhannon attractions like Audra State Park can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.
The park is a hilly, secondary forest area bisected by the Middle Fork River. The deep pools, large, flat rocks, and riverside beach have provided generations of campers, local teens and college students a place to swim or work on their tans. Audra State Park is the site of Alum Cave, which is accessible by a boardwalk built along this overhanging sandstone ledge.
The park serves as the put-in point for a 6.6 mile kayak run along about 2.8 miles the Middle Fork River and about 3.8 miles of the Tygart Valley River to the confluence of the latter with the Buckhannon River.

Stopped here on my way to Elkins for a birthday getaway. I’m a photographer and thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of the beautiful sites inside the park. The park is relatively small to drive...

A diamond in the rough, this small state park that is centered around the middle fork river has been a staple in my family for years. The campground is a perfect river retreat for two, but is also a favorite for the kids, with a mini camp store and playground in the center. Riding the rapids in an inter tube sure beats standing in line at the amusement park. If you ate looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains, Audra is it.

Small park with a very nice hiking trail and views of the river. We went when it was cold but I would like to return when the weather is warmer. The water looks nice with lots of swimming areas in the river
