Description

Once the site of a lumber and grist mill community, Valley Falls State Park is a place of scenic beauty and historical significance. A series of four picturesque falls created by the dark, rushing waters of the Tygart Valley River distinguish this 1,145-acre park. In addition to its scenic charm, Valley Falls State Park offers miles of hiking and biking trails, fishing and a small collection of good boulders.

Specifically the boulders are above the river on the ridges and takes a little effort and steep hikes are common to get to them! It is the little brother of Coopers Rock bouldering with the same quality rock just not as concentrated and not as much! But for the Fairmont area climbers it’s pretty good!

Once again all approach trails are long and STEEP! Have fun…

This is a day-use park and gates open at 7 a.m. and close at dark.
