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.
