What are some of the best easy hikes in West Virigina?
West Virginia is full of wonderful hiking trails – so many so that you could hike the rest of your life if you wanted (and if you could – what? We totally would). With almost 1,000 hikes to pick from, it can be a little tough to decide where to begin; well, why don’t we offer up a few (wonderful) suggestions? Some of our favorite, easy-peasy hikes in West Virginia include the amazing Lindy Point Trail, at Blackwater Falls State Park. It’s quick and easy, at just 0.8 miles long, and it offers up amazing views of Blackwater Canyon, among lots of other things. The Roadside Trail, inside Coopers Rock State Forest, is a three-mile trek to Coopers Rock Overlook; in total, there are more than 50 miles of trails within the forest to embark upon. Be sure to also add the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail to your bucket list; it’s a 22-mile abandoned railroad trail that features an amazing 940-foot-long Rosendale Trestle bridge. Finally, the Grandview State Park Overlook Trail is paved from parking to the vista, and the vista is definitely a grand view of the amazing wilderness.
