Things to do at Moncove Lake State Park
- Fishing Moncove Lake EasyRV parking available
Moncove Lake is the park's main attraction, offering year-round fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and seasonally stocked trout. A boat launch and fishing pier provide accessible shoreline and water access close to the campground.
- Paddling and Boating EasyRV parking available
Visitors can paddle the lake by canoe, kayak, or small boat, with electric motors permitted but gas motors restricted. The calm, no-wake waters make it suitable for beginners and family outings.
- Swimming Pool EasyRV parking available
The park's seasonal swimming pool operates from Memorial Day weekend into early September. It provides a popular cool-down option for campers during humid Appalachian summers.
- Park Hiking Trails EasyRV parking available
Several short hiking trails loop through woods and along the lakeshore for easy day hikes. Trails are best suited to casual walking, birding, and wildlife viewing rather than long-distance trekking.
- Moncove Lake Wildlife Management Area Moderate
The adjacent state Wildlife Management Area expands access for hunting in season, hiking, and wildlife observation across forested ridges and wetlands. It is a productive area for spotting waterfowl, songbirds, and white-tailed deer.
- Picnicking and Day Use EasyRV parking available
Picnic shelters and tables near the lake provide a relaxed setting for lunch stops and family gatherings. The day-use area is a convenient base for visitors not staying overnight.

How to get to Moncove Lake State Park
The park sits in southeastern Monroe County, about 20 miles east of Union, West Virginia, and roughly 35 to 40 miles east of Lewisburg, a 50 to 60 minute drive on rural state routes. From Interstate 64 at Lewisburg or White Sulphur Springs, drivers head south on US 219 then east through Union, with the final approach via narrow two-lane mountain roads that include curves and short steep grades, so larger RVs should plan for a slow, careful drive. There are no major tunnels on the route, but cell service can drop in valleys. The nearest commercial airport is Greenbrier Valley Airport (LWB) near Lewisburg, with Roanoke (ROA) in Virginia about two hours away as a larger fly-and-rent option.
