Planning a Memorial Day weekend trip to Harpers Ferry? Here are some helpful tips to make your experience a great one:

🚩 Know where to go - Parking in Lower Town is limited and often fills up early. If you plan to explore museums or hike a trail that begins there, we strongly recommend parking at the main entrance (171 Shoreline Drive, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425) and riding the park shuttle into Lower Town.

🚩 Pack your patience - We all love the amazing history and breathtaking scenery at Harpers Ferry. Expect crowding and have a back-up plan if the parking lot that you wanted to use is full or your preferred trail is packed.

🚩 Have a trash plan - Harpers Ferry is a Trash Free Park. If you bring it with you into the park, be sure to take it with you when you leave, including food and pet waste.

🚩 Ruffing it? - Bringing your four-legged friend to the park? Check out our Pets page to learn what you and your pet can do during your visit: go.nps.gov/HFpets

Secret's out: Harpers Ferry was featured as one of "The 30 Most Charming Small-Town Downtowns in America" on HGTV!

"In addition to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, you'll also find a quaint village situated at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. Pop in and out of 19th century buildings, which now house boutiques, cafes and coffee shops like the Battle Grounds Bakery & Café. Listen for the train whistle as Amtrak's Capitol Limited chugs across the railroad bridge. Hike the white-blazed Appalachian Trail or up to Maryland Heights for bird's-eye views across this charming historic town."

Are you looking for your moment of Zen at Harpers Ferry NHP? As our Scout friends would say, it’s always best to “be prepared” for your visit:

• Where to park? There is hassle-free parking located just inside the main entrance of the park (171 Shoreline Drive, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425) adjacent to the Visitor Center and shuttle bus stop. This is the most convenient place to park if you wish to access Lower Town and its trailheads. You can ride the park shuttle bus to Lower Town, which is included in your park entrance fee. Parking in Lower Town is extremely limited.

•Is there a park entrance fee? Yes, there is a park entrance fee, which includes parking, use of the park shuttle buses, admission to the park museums and exhibits, and use of park trails. You can pay at the entrance station, or purchase a park pass online ahead of time: https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/2747.
-Vehicle - $20.00 (single, private)
-Motorcycle - $15.00
-Per Person - $10.00 (arriving on foot or bicycle)

We hope this information helps you to maintain your peace and tranquility during your visit to Harpers Ferry NHP! For more information to help you plan your visit, check out https://www.nps.gov/hafe/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.

This village, which has a "population" of about 300 inhabitants, fully represents one of the many "faces" of the United States, a quiet and characteristic "province" where it is possible to spend a relaxing holiday away from highways, shopping centers and skyscrapers...
