Fayette County West Virginia Hiking Trails
Lovers Leap Trail
|
Hawks Nest State Park
Length: 100 yards
The 100 yard Lovers Leap Trail starts
at the tram office and goes to the overlook of the New River and marina. Steps
most of the way. Legend has it that
Lovers Leap was the scene of tragedy for an Indian brave and an Indian
princess who had fallen in love.
They were from different tribes and their marriage was opposed by their
families. Rather than be
parted , they plunged from the rock to their deaths in the gorge below.
