Blackwater
Falls State Park is named for the falls of the
Blackwater River whose amber-colored waters plunge
five stories then twist and tumble through an
eight-mile long gorge. The “black” water is a
result of tannic acid from fallen hemlock and red
spruce needles. The falls are one of the most
photographed sites in West Virginia.
Blackwater
Lodge sits on the canyon's south rim, providing a
sweeping view of the densely forested gorge. Each of
the 54 air-conditioned guest rooms has a private
bath, phone and color television. The lodge also
features a game room and a sitting room with a cozy
fireplace.
The
new 200 seat Harr Conference Center and indoor pool
make Blackwater Lodge a comfortable retreat in a
mountain setting. Major Credit Cards Accepted
