Coopers Rock — Attraction in Morgantown

My brother and I took a nice trip. Walked trails to get to The Overlook, wondering if we overlooked the overlook. Then there it was.. almost heaven the signs read. As we were scootin’ through the forest checking out the local mushrooms, we finally got on the path that lead to Cooper’s Rock… While we marveled over the hills and river at the sight, a rain come crawling in.

Cooper's Rock State Forest is a natural gem of West Virginia, with stunning trails and breathtaking scenery. The forest offers a variety of trails, ranging from easy to challenging, with something for every level of hiker. The main overlook is a spectacular sight, with panoramic views of the forest and surrounding landscape, although the bridge to the main overlook is currently out of service. However, the secondary overlook is just as stunning, and provides a great vantage point to take in the natural beauty of the area.

Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Cooper's Rock State Forest for a memorable and enjoyable...

Take your time on the road back - it's very narrow, and there are a couple of very large potholes that need to be addressed terribly. Parking is somewhat limited, but there were guests constantly coming and going, so it didn't take long to...
