For good reason, the main feature of West Virginia’s Blackwater Falls State Park in Davis, West Virginia is the renowned Blackwater Falls itself, a massive 62-foot cascade at the entrance to the Blackwater Canyon. But you’d be remiss to go all the way to the park to see this stunning waterfall and don’t take the time to explore some of the other beautiful vistas Blackwater Falls State Park has to offer!

It's appropriate that Blackwater Falls is the feature for which Blackwater Falls State Park is named. The torrent of amber-colored water pouring over sandstone cliffs as it rushes into the Blackwater Canyon is a sight not soon forgotten! But there are many other amazing sights scattered throughout this beautiful state park that are also not to be missed.
