Holly River State Park opens temporary office following Superstorm Sandy

Posted: Updated:

More than a month after being closed by Superstorm Sandy, Holly River State Park will open a temporary office on Monday, Dec. 3.

The park has been closed since Superstorm Sandy swept through the region.

Utility service into the main park has still not been restored. One building in a separate area of the park has restored service and will be turned into a temporary service, according to a news release.

Park staff has moved the office computer, reservation books, a phone, and other office needs into this temporary space.

This will allow staff to take reservations and answer questions from people.

"We have been overwhelmed with emails and calls of concern for Holly River and the employees there," Brad Reed, district administrator for West Virginia State Parks, said in a release. "We are very pleased to get our general services up and running again and to be able to provide service and communication to our park guests."

The temporary phone number until the main park office has full power restoration is 304-493-6559.
