Coopers Rock State Forest
Coopers Rock State Forest is famous for a rocky overlook that gives a jaw-dropping view of the Cheat River canyon far below. It sits on high cliffs surrounded by thick, peaceful woods.
Visitors love the short walk to the main overlook and the miles of trails through boulders and hemlocks. It is a favorite for picnics, rock scrambling, and watching the sunset over the valley.
The Famous Overlook
A short, easy walk leads to a stone overlook high above the winding Cheat River. The view is especially beautiful in fall when the forest glows with color.
Trails and Big Boulders
The forest is full of giant mossy boulders that kids love to climb and explore. Many trails wind through the woods, past streams and quiet resting spots.
Picnics and Nature
Shady picnic areas make it a perfect spot for a family lunch in the fresh mountain air. Chipmunks, deer, and songbirds are often close by among the trees.
