Rhododendron Trail and Rocky Trail Loop
A former lumber and gristmill community, Valley Falls State Park offers one of the most accessible--and massive--waterfalls in WV. Just a few dozen yards from the parking lot, you'll find the park's namesake (and probably a lot of people, engagement photoshoots, and just general mayhem). But if you hike the Rhododendron Trail as it follows the Tygart River and then Glady Creek, you'll find the ...

Hike to High Falls in Monongahela National Forest
Though this beautiful hike is a serious workout, it's actually quite easy to follow. It's also listed on Google Maps - I'd highly recommend downloading the map offline just in case something happens.
Starting at the trailhead (park at a pull-off along the gravel road just a few hundred feet before the trailhead), you'll follow the clearly marked trail (blue diamonds) for a half mile until you r...

Hike to Lindy Point in Blackwater Falls State Park
If you go to Blackwater Falls State Park for the falls, stay for the overlooks. This one, the most popular in the park, overlooks Blackwater Canyon from 3,000 feet above. Although the parking area at the trailhead is small with room for only 4-5 cars, you can also park along the road or at the ski center one mile away. The sign marking the trailhead is easy to miss; if you see the road sign ...
Explore Elakala Falls
Starting at the Blackwater Falls Lodge, head to the left side of the parking lot, where a trailhead becomes visible. Follow the clearly marked trail down until you reach a bridge which goes over the top of the falls. After the bridge, look for paths to allow you to get to the river level and the best views of the falls.
