Reaching 4,863 feet above sea level, Spruce Knob is the summit of Spruce Mountain and the highest point in West Virginia.

Surprisingly, you do not have to be a rock climber or even don hiking boots to enjoy the privilege of seeing the views from this highpoint – the summit of Spruce Knob can be reached by driving up a good mountain road and then taking a short walk to the observation tower.

If you prefer to explore the area on foot, you can choose from the Huckleberry Trail, the Seneca Creek Trail, or the Lumberjack Trail to reach the summit.

Camping enthusiasts can set up camp at Seneca Shadows Campground or Big Ben Camp Ground to spend a few days exploring the area.
