Prepare to pay for parking either at the train station (by the hour via pay app) or at the visitors center ($20 for three days) where they'll bus you (every 15 min.) to the parks bus stop. Lots of hiking at Maryland Heights and the C&O canal. Several nice & quaint shops, cafés & restaurants to visit too. We spent about 4 hours touring, but an enthusiast would have no problem spending the entire day in this area of Harpers Ferry.

What a magical and spectacular place to walk, enjoy nature, the old and even to drink and eat something delicious... This place is extraordinary... I loved it

If you have a pet don't pay the $20 to park at the visitor center. Pets are not allowed on the shuttle bus and it's a 3 Mile round trip walk to the exhibits.

It's less than 30 minutes drive to historical sites like Antietam Battlefield and natural wonders like the Crystal Grottoes stalactite cave. Not to mention hiking and River rafting/ tubing.

Is there an entrance fee? If so, how much?

Jackie Courtney | Oct 28, 2020
Tony Cooper | Oct 28, 2020

There is no admission to the park itself. There is a few for parking. Best plan is to park above town, walk down, and enjoy the park that way.

Do you need to pay to tour Harpers ferry historical park

Sirak Reckub | Oct 29, 2019
Kenneth Wilson | Oct 29, 2019

You have to pay $15.00 to park and preferably take the blue bus into Harper's Ferry because where you get into the historic area there is minimal parking, look for Park entrance. Off of route 340 also known as the William Wilson Parkway.
