In-Depth Information
Hendricks, it is also possible to pick up the
Allegheny Highlands Trail
and
Limerock
Trail
.
Everything in this part of the Monongahela National Forest is affected by the water that
runs through the mountains.
Although this beautiful trail is open to the public, a local logging company is in-
terested in converting it into a private logging road. The Friends of the Blackwater
Canyon, a local trail group, is negotiating with the Forest Service and other parties to
prevent the loss of this valuable and historical resource.
DIRECTIONS
In Thomas, head south on WV Route 32 (Spruce Street). Turn right onto
Douglas Road, which crosses the trail. Turn left off Douglas Road onto the trail
(you can drive on this portion) to reach the trailhead approximately a mile down
the road. The trailhead, where there is space for parking, is marked by a Forest
Service gate. There is space there for parking.
In Hendricks, take Route 72 east through town and turn right on Second
Street. The trailhead is on the right. Look for the gazebo and parking at the trail-
head.
