Mont Chateau State Park was formerly a state park located beside Cheat Lake in Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA.
History
Commissioning and operations
Some Script error: No such module "convert". of land for park were originally purchased in June 1955. A new lodge was subsequently constructed and opened, along with the beach, on June 7, 1958.[1] After unsuccessfully attempting different ways of managing and operating the park, it was closed in 1977.[1][2]
Current status
While the park itself was closed, the state has retained a Script error: No such module "convert". portion of the site. The former lodge has housed the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey, including a small geology museum, since the 1970s. The land also provides access from the Coopers Rock State Forest trail system to Cheat Lake. The other Script error: No such module "convert". were first leased and then sold to Fred St. Clair in 1985 for recreational use.[1]
