Blackwater Falls Makeover Makes it a Destination for Downtime

The serenity and beauty of West Virginia is now on the next level with the newly renovated Blackwater Falls State Park. Located in Tucker County among the trees of the Allegheny Forest, your next destination for downtime is a welcoming experience from the moment you arrive. 

Let’s explore the renovations and plan your next trip!

A GRAND ENTRANCE WITH LUSH LANDSCAPING

It takes work to look great. For decades, Blackwater Falls State Park has been enveloped between the trees and attracting guests. As you arrive, you’ll feel warm and ready to relax seeing yourself surrounded by newly designed landscaping with upscale appeal, especially with the newly constructed porte cochere. Those features only to be matched with a new lobby, front desk, and gift shop. 

MAKE ROOM FOR THESE ROOMS

More than $5 million dollars went into refurbishing the 54 guest rooms at Blackwater Falls Lodge. Artwork, flooring, keycard installation, you name it – they made it perfect. From the ceilings to the walls, this amazing place to unwind is easy on the eyes and leaves a lasting impression. 

CABINS GET FRESH LOOK

For those seeking a bit more privacy with some of the same renovated amenities, the Blackwater Falls Cabins and Campground also have a fresh, new look. More than $1 million was spent to make your next trip to this relaxing mountain lodge top-notch. 

The shower house is equipped with new fixtures and centralized heat and all 65 campsites can now facilitate up to 50 amp hookup.
