The resources, size, and location of the Bluestone National Scenic River make it attractive for a daytime visit; it is not open to camping. Both adjoining state parks, Bluestone State Park and Pipestem Resort State Park, offer excellent campgrounds as well as other services not available within the Bluestone National Scenic River area.

Did You Know?
Lilly, a small community on the Bluestone River, was removed due to construction of the Bluestone Dam in 1949. Remains from 149 graves were exhumed and relocated. Remnants of the foundations of a church, school, and homes can be seen at the former townsite.
