Review:

Seneca State Forest is West Virginia's oldest state forest, established in 1924. The forest spans 11,684 acres throughout Pocahontas County, overseen by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Visitors can explore the forest's lovely panoramas via hiking and wildlife watching trails or enjoy opportunities for trout, bluegill, and bass fishing on its picturesque four-acre lake. Eight fully-equipped pioneer cabins are available for overnight stay during the spring, summer, and fall months and can be reserved online or by phone for minimum two-night stays. The forest's Thorny Mountain Fire Tower, one of the state's most iconic landmarks, can also be reserved for overnight stay, showcasing 360-degree views of the forest from atop a 65-foot fire tower.
