Bickle Knob is yet another of West Virginia’s many 4,000+ foot peaks, which occupies a tall ridge overlooking the Otter Creek Wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest. Good news for non-hikers is that you can access the peak by road along Forest Service Road (91A) and then take a short walk up to the observation tower, which was once used as a fire look-out point. If you prefer to hike you can set off along the 5.2-mile Middle Point Trail. Hikers who prefer a more challenging day out can choose between several other Otter Creek Wilderness trails that require a bit of route-finding skills. The entire area is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and there are several options for camping, including RV campsites and primitive backcountry camping opportunities.
