Blackwater Falls | West Virginia Photo Spot
Share this Page
Tucked away in Blackwater Falls State Park, Blackwater Falls stands as one of West Virginia’s most iconic waterfalls. This cascading wonder tumbles down a series of amber-colored rocks, deriving its unique hue from tannic acid emitted by fallen hemlock and red spruce needles. The falls, dropping approximately 57 feet, create a mesmerizing display of rushing waters against a backdrop of dense forests. Photographers will especially love visiting during autumn, when the surrounding trees don a spectrum of brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows, enhancing the natural charm of the scene. Accessible viewpoints provide various angles for photographers, ensuring each shot is as breathtaking as the last.
