In June 2022, West Virginia launched a statewide Waterfall Trail, allowing travelers to more easily navigate some of the state’s 200-plus waterfalls with a free mobile passport – plus the chance to win prizes along the way. As of 2023, there are 38 trail stops in total. These include the famous Blackwater Falls, where the tannic acid of fallen hemlock and red spruce needles tints the water. Not surprisingly, it’s one of West Virginia’s most photographed destinations.
