Scenic Route - Blackwater Falls

This captivating watercolor painting of Blackwater Falls, layered over an old West Virginia map, beautifully blends nature and history, featuring the state's vibrant autumn foliage and its delicate state flower, the rhododendron.

Blackwater Falls, located in Tucker County, West Virginia, is one of the state’s most iconic natural landmarks. Named for the dark, amber-colored waters tinted by tannins from fallen hemlock and red spruce needles, the falls cascade 57 feet into the Blackwater Canyon. Surrounded by lush forests and rugged mountain terrain, this breathtaking destination attracts visitors year-round with its scenic beauty, hiking trails, and opportunities for photography. In winter, the falls become a frozen spectacle, while autumn brings vibrant foliage. As the centerpiece of Blackwater Falls State Park, it offers outdoor recreation, wildlife viewing, and a glimpse into West Virginia’s wild, untamed landscape.
