Kanawha State Forest
 Rt. 2 Box 285
Charleston, WV 25314
Phone: (304) 558-3500
 Located just seven miles south of Charleston,
West Virginia, this forest's close proximity to the
heavily populated Kanawha Valley has made it a
recreational haven. Some of the state’s most
popular picnic areas are here, along with
significant hiking, mountain biking, and
cross-country skiing opportunities. Kanawha's
swimming pool and playground attract families during
the summer season, and the fully equipped campground
is one of the few in the Charleston area.
The 9,300-acre forest is noted among naturalists
for its diverse wildflower and bird populations.
Rich cove forest sites provide nesting habitat for
19 species of wood warblers, a feature that draws
birders from as far away as Canada.
Picnicking: Numerous picnic sites and nine
reservable shelters are provided for the enjoyment
of visitors. These sites offer tables, grills, and
nearby bathroom facilities.
