Blackwater Falls State Park
Plunging five stories over craggy rocks, the amber-colored waters of Blackwater Falls are the result of tannic acid from fallen hemlock and red spruce needles. Twisting and turning through an eight-mile long gorge, the falls are one of the most photographed sites in West Virginia. Over 200 steps along a custom built causeway make it very easy for visitors to walk to the base of the falls and back up again. The Blackwater River is stocked weekly with trout from early spring through early summer. The section of the Blackwater River that runs through the park is a catch and release area. It is stocked regularly with trout. Fishing is also allowed at Pendleton Lake. Proper license and stamps are required.
