A Day At Blackwater Falls State Park, WV

75

By rickyracer

The 4th of July 09 At Blackwater Falls State Park

What a place of beauty is Blackwater Falls, located in Davis, West Virginia. These are said to be, the highest above ground falls in the State of WV. They drop off at 62 feet. It is called Blackwater, because of the Blackwater River. There are different overlooks and trails at this lovely State Park. There is horseback riding, a lodge, cabins, a swimming area, and campground areas. There is a lot for the family to do, at this State Park. I just find myself in awe, looking at the beauty of these falls. Our family, my husband’s side, has enjoyed many family picnics and gatherings at Blackwater Falls. Over the past years, we’ve all come together here quite often, and enjoyed the serenity of it. This past year, my husband’s father passed away, in February, and this 4th, was the first year in many, that we’ve not come together here for a family picnic. We decided to go to the Falls ourselves anyway, and enjoy the day together there still. Though it was not with the whole of our family, just my husband and I, we still enjoyed the beauty of these awesome surroundings. I felt as though his daddy, was looking down on us, while we were again, at the Park, on the 4th of July. The day was a lovely day, and yet, we were sad to not be sharing it again, as a family. I took a camera, and took pictures of the Falls, and we took in, all the scenery, and very much still enjoyed our time together! If you’d come to this area, I’d strongly suggest a visit to Davis, and to see these lovely Water Falls. You would surely not regret the trip! Tourists come from everywhere to behold the beauty of them! And even though I’m not a tourist, I enjoy our trips here, and it seems it’s a little bit different every time you view them! West Virginia holds so many great views of nature to behold, and this is most definitely one of the many here! Whether cooking out, or just enjoying the view, it’s a gorgeous part of our beautiful State. Come on and visit, but don’t forget the camera, you will surely want to remember your day, and your visit, to Blackwater Falls West Virginia! In fact, there aren’t too many places here, that you’d want to visit, without your camera, you’d be sorry you did!

Nice photos. I love Blackwater Falls also. It is a great place to vacation even if for just a couple of days. Went there a few years ago with my wife and son. Eneded up riding the ski lift to the top of the mountain there and loved it. You should mention the great places to eat while there along with a nice hotel to stay in.

Big Johns was the best place to eat when we werte there before. Would love to go back again soon.

I have pictures and history of the Eastern Panhandle on my hub "A Ride To The Beautiful Countryside". Take a look at it if you get the chance. Yes, West By God is beautiful and the history is so rich.

No doubt, Big Johns is a great place to eat, and fun for the entire family as well! Sirrianis is a good pizza joint/place to eat, in Davis. And Tuckers, in Canaan is good too. There are many more great dining places, or just go on into Elkins, and eat there! Its neat to find other "hubbers" who know of our beautiful sights here in WV!! Blessings!
