Fayette County West Virginia Hiking Trails

Cliffside Trail

Hawks Nest State Park

Length: 1.75 miles

The 1.75 mile Cliffside Trail starts at the Midland Trail Shelter and goes to the overlook area.  Portions of the trail are rugged as it drops below rock cliff.  The beautiful falls of Turkey Creek are visible from the trail.  An excellent opportunity for viewing the geology of the New River Gorge.  Trail passes from rocky crags to woods thick with hemlock and rhododendron. Return by way of the museum, up the steps to a service road, and back to the hedge.

Directions:

Hawks Nest State Park is conveniently located on the Midland Trail Scenic Highway (Route 60). One hour east of Charleston and only 8 miles west of Route 19.
