Kumbrabow State Forest
|
Randolph County West Virginia
|
| Kumbrabow State Forest is located along
the western edge of the Allegheny Highlands atop Rich Mountain. The
9,474 acres of forest range from 3,000 to 3,930 feet above sea level,
making Kumbrabow the state's highest forest. Acquired in 1934, the
forest derives its unusual name from the three prominent families,
KUMp-BRAdy-BOWers, who were instrumental in the purchase of the land. |
