Situated at the mouth of the Savage River Reservoir, Big Run State Park is the perfect base camp from which to enjoy the surrounding Savage River State Forest. Campers at Big Run have easy access to fishing, boating, hiking, or hunting opportunities. Autumn visitors have a spectacular view of the changing colors on the surrounding mountain ridges.

The Big Run Pavilion is available year-round for weddings, reunions, and other large group events. It costs $76.75 plus a $6.25 reservation fee. It can accommodate up to 75 people for events between 8:00 A.M. and sunset. Alcohol is permitted with a special permit.

Picnic tables are available in the Day Use area of the park, along Big Run Road at the intersection with Savage River Rd. These tables are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
