August 27, 2025 -- I had been wanting to visit Blackwater Falls. I visited years ago. Ty and I made the 2.5 hour trip to Davis, West Virginia. Blackwater Falls State Park is located in the Allegany Mountains in Tucker County. Blackwater Falls is the centerpiece of the park, the largest falls in West Virginia and one of the most photographed natural sites in the state.
Cascading falls
The cascading falls drop about 62 feet at the head of Blackwater Canyon. The black in Blackwater Falls refers to the tannic acid from hemlock and red spruce needles that darkens the water, giving it a tea-like color.
Blue cloudy skies
There is a boardwalk trail to the falls overlook. It is about a half a mile out and back. The views are breathtaking. I would love to see the falls when they are frozen over.
