Blackwater Falls State Park Green Day Hike

Take a Green Day hike on the Balanced Rock Trail with a Blackwater Falls State Park naturalist. Meet the naturalist in cabin 1-26 loop at 10:00 a.m. to enter a trail that passes through a lycopodium and moss covered forest floor with a cathedral-like hardwood forest and expansive colonies of rhododendron and mountain laurel. Then loop back along the Rhododendron Trail to earn a Green Day Hiking prize for walking a trail with a naturalist at a West Virginia State Park.

This hike is about 1.5 miles. Expect the program to last 70-90 minutes. In addition to earning the Green Day Hike prize, this hike meets one of the three qualifications to earn the Young People for Parks Patch. For more details call Harold Walters Nature Center at 304-259-5511.
