List of West Virginia state parks

 * ... that West Virginia's 37 state parks include a working grist mill (pictured), a scenic railroad, a reconstructed 18th-century fortification, and a Natural National Landmark? Source: 1. 2.  3.  4.
 * ALT1:... that in 2016, West Virginia's state parks (Babcock State Park pictured) and state forests received 7.1 million visitors who spent $226.5 million throughout the state? Source: 1. (pp. 41–44)

 * Comment: Because this list has a tremendous amount of information to choose from for a DYK hook, I welcome and would greatly appreciate suggestions for alternative hooks.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg for ALT1 (I support ALT1 because it says something about all the state parks; the other one is not so remarkable). Pass on all criteria: recent 5x expansion, long enough, within policy, all paragraphs properly referenced, hook is good and accurate, image is used in the article and properly licensed. QPQ done as stated above. Good job West Virginian, nice addition to WP! --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:20, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I respectfully submit that ALT0 is the better hook to accompany the picture, and since this is a list-article, the ALT0 hook readies the reader to read all about the many state park features in West Virginia. Yoninah (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
