Review:
Established to protect a spectacularly beautiful stretch of land along the Blackwater River, Blackwater Falls State Park is the most popular park in the state.
Its centerpiece is the iconic 62-foot Blackwater Falls, whose amber tannin-colored water crashes down a rugged cliff and into a natural pool below. A short trail leads from the parking lot down to a viewing platform overlooking the falls, and there's also a steeper section that leads right to the pool at the base. If you have some extra time, you can also fish in the river, hike on the park's beautiful trails, or visit the nature center.
