Blackwater Falls State Park

Blackwater Falls Overlook is one of West Virginia’s most photographed spots, and for good reason. A short walk from the parking lot leads to the thundering amber-tinted cascade, which looks like a scene straight out of a movie. The park offers an accessible overlook, making it easy to view (and snap Instagram-worthy shots). Stay and explore the rest of Blackwater Falls State Park. You’ll find miles of hiking trails to explore, wildlife viewing, rafting, boating, and fishing.
