Blackwater Falls State Park is a park in the Allegheny Mountains that features ample recreational activities as well as lodging and conference facilities. The park’s name comes from the falls that occur on the Blackwater River, located in the park. The Blackwater River offers superior fishing opportunities and is stocked weekly with trout for part of the year. Fishing is also permitted at Pendleton Lake.

There are 20 miles of hiking trails within the park with a variety of difficulty levels. Winter activities include the Blackwater Falls Sled Run, which includes a conveyer belt to return riders to the top as well as a large fire ring and a warming hut that serves refreshments.
