Blackwater Falls is a cascade waterfall in West Virginia with a documented drop of 57 ft (17 m).
The falls are fed by Blackwater River. You'll find it in Tucker, West Virginia. It is protected within Blackwater Falls State Park (WV State Parks).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Davis, the closest town.
When to go: Spring snowmelt (Apr-Jun). Like most waterfalls, Blackwater Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
