There are some pretty popular parks in Huntington, West Virginia (we’re looking at you, Ritter Park). But if you’re looking for a true hidden gem in Huntington, then you’ll definitely want to check out Rotary Park just off of U.S. Route 60 not far from where the Guyandotte River meets the Ohio.

The whole Rotary Park is an undiscovered treasure, with baseball fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, disc golf, and more.

But the most hidden of all the hidden gems at this park is definitely the Rotary Park Overlook Tower.

Located at the end of an unmarked, unpaved, unkept trail, the tower takes some effort to reach.

Park at the trails parking lot near the disc golf course and walk up the grassy meadow on the left. The Overlook Tower will be in the forest on your right. You can also take a longer route to reach it by heading up the trail on the right side of the parking area, past the overlooks and around the far side of the hill. Access to the overlook is a hidden trail taking off up the mountain via a set of stone steps into the forest.
The overlook affords several overgrown views of the city of Huntington.

Although beautiful in any season, from late fall to early spring, these views would likely include quite a bit more of the city!
