Lodge is well kept. People are very kind.
Did not stay there as was just day-tripping .But the staff treated us like guests. Great location ,great hiking and a miniature golf kids age 4-5-11 enjoyed a lot and a decent playground . Mothers day and the restaurant was filled but they did try to see if they could fit our group of 7 in but the time was later then we wanted . Will camp or stay at lodge next time . As we are only a few hours away we were just checking it out .
Very friendly people, nice atmosphere
Great inexpensive food at their restaurant. All the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable.
The Lodge is absolutely fantastic. Did not stay in a room, but the restaurant is amazing. The service is great, and the people are so friendly. The food is excellent as well as the view. Highly recommend.
Lots of nice trails nearby.
New Year's Eve party package a joke. Not enough tables or seats...no decent alcohol available...dogs allowed and barking. Horrible experience. Tried to get refund and leave, but no dice. Don't waste your time on the lodge. Park nice, but crap service and food suck.

This review is about the PARK, see separate review about the Lodge and Restaurant. The park has excellent scenery, hiking trails and a motel and restaurant. A recreational man made lake was added about twenty years ago. Camp sites, some with full RV hookups. WARNING: if you are visiting with a large land yacht you should note that both approach routes (either from Cairo or Harrisville WV) are very twisty roads with numerous sharp switchbacks. If you are driving a class B motorcoach or towing a longish trailer you may well find yourself stuck on one of these sharp switchbacks. Folks driving this kind of rig would be well served to phone ahead and discuss your intentions with a ranger. I believe some of the camping sites are less of an access problem than the Lodge itself. Tows are expensive out here. There are few places to turn back. Deer: if you want to see deer this is the place for you. In years gone by they used to feed them and most of them would hang around the Lodge. Not so today. But you are LIKELY to see them on the approach roads. Usually it will be as you come out of a blind curve and find one or more standing in the middle of the road staring dumbly at you as you bear down on them. So resist the temptation to lean into it on these fine twisty roads. It is no fun to run into a deer. People have occasionally been killed this way. The park scenery you can see from your vehicle and the hiking trails (now including a link into the old railroad right of way which has been converted into a cross country trail system) are some of the finest in the WV state park system. There is a man made recreational lake. Sorry, but I don't know if power boats are permitted. Canoes and kayaks are encouraged, but you may have to go to an outfitter outside the park for rentals. The lake is long and skinny and a person could spend days exploring it. There are fish, but you will want to learn about the rules for fishing in the park. Not all of the lake is inside the park and general WV fishing rules would apply outside.
Noteworthy details: Take notes of the cautions in this review to those coming here in a large land yacht. Very twisty access roads with few places to turn around.

North Bend State Park Lodge is a great place to visit. Also you can enjoy walking or riding down the rail trail which is approximately 71 Mi long with great scenery also good food at a reasonable price.
