Black Waterfalls State Park
At one of West Virginia’s most well known State Parks you will find a few of the most popular and some of the most unknown waterfalls in the state. Black waterfalls are the Niagara waterfalls of West Virginia. Seen in many a postcard, the falls are very large and breathtaking. You can hear the main falls at Black waterfalls from a great distance away. The volume of water that tumbles down these waterfalls is no doubt a huge volume. These falls are easily accessible and are even equipped for handicapped folks in wheel chairs to get to an area where they can behold the beauty of Black waterfalls. Two areas provide access to these falls, one at the main park facilities and another on a road leading to the cabins and mountain lodge area (which I recommend staying at). Both are easy to get to and are frequented by visitors from all over.

Pendleton Falls
If you continue past the main park facilities at black waterfalls state park, you will come to a viewing area of the black water canyon. This is a wonderful place for taking canyon photographs, but be careful, the cliffs are Very Dangerous and you can fall very far down into the canyon if not careful. There are also a couple different trails that you may take to get to Pendleton Falls from this overlook area. The trails are very step and not well marked so you must wear some good hiking boots. Pendleton falls are pretty and remote; you cannot see them very well from a distance so if you want to see these waterfalls the best thing to do is to go on a waterfall hike adventure! Pendleton falls have a few different levels of waterfalls and each varies in size and beauty. Although not one of my favorites they are nonetheless pretty and a nice hike to go on.

Elakala Falls
Buried behind the Black waterfalls lodge is a little unnoticed trail called Elakala trail. This unnoticed trail is very beautiful and very pleasant to walk through. Moss covered rocks and pine trees cover the forest area in pine needles.
