Coopers Rock State Forest preserves an area of forest and recreational facilities. The park gained its name from a fugitive who hid from the law near the park’s overlook. The park features rustic picnic structures as well as other structures that were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression and are now recognized as historic places.
The park’s land is available for a wide range of recreational activities as well as forestry research. Hunting in the forest and fishing at the stocked pond are both permitted. The park features numerous scenic overlooks along the Cheat River Gorge, offering views of the gorge and surrounding areas. Visitors may have the opportunity to spot wildlife, including squirrels, owls, turkeys, fox, and deer.
