Views and Overlooks
Elakala Falls
The waters of Shay Run reach the Blackwater Canyon's edge and cascade down the canyon's wall as Elakala Falls. A short walk along the Elakala Trail from the Lodge will take hikers over the upper section of Elakala Falls.
Lindy Point
45 acres of pristine mountain views into the Blackwater Canyon provide one of the one of the most famous views in all of West Virginia.
Pendleton Falls
Pendleton Falls can be viewed at a roadside pull-off about one-half mile from the Lodge. Like Elakala, these Falls are the cascades of Pendleton Run coming from the park's boating lake.
Pendleton Point Overlook
A view of Blackwater Lodge and Blackwater Canyon can be enjoyed from this vantage point. This is the canyon's deepest and widest point.
Blackwater River
Blackwater River is a scenic and wild river that runs through the heart of Blackwater Falls State Park.
