Review:
Named after a local legend about an outlaw who made the forest his home, Coopers Rock State Forest encompasses almost 13,000 acres of land, including the awe-inspiring Cheat River Gorge. People primarily come here for the views, and the most popular spot in the park is the Coopers Rock overlook, which provides spectacular 360-degree views of the canyon below. However, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation as well; the park is an excellent rock-climbing destination, and it boasts approximately 50 miles of hiking trails, including a three-mile loop trail that leads out to Cheat Lake.
