Review & FAQ:

Blackwater Falls State Park features an amber-colored cascading waterfall tinted by the acidic hemlock and red spruce needles surrounding the waters.

Covering 446-acres of protected land, visitors can explore 20 different hiking trails ranging in distance and difficulty.

The park offers cabins, tent camping, and a lodge for overnight accommodations. Warm summers provide the perfect conditions for swimming in Pendleton Lake or the outdoor pool at nearby Canaan Valley Resort.

Snowy winters make way to the longest sled run on the East Coast and 10-miles of cross-country skiing.

The lodge has an indoor pool and a restaurant, The Smokehouse, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or you can stay at the nearby Canaan Valley Resort on your weekend trip.
