Allegheny Mountain Trail (FT 532)

Follows the ridge of Allegheny Mountain through hardwoods and small clearings, with views into the Seneca Creek drainage once the leaves are off.

Part of Spruce Knob and the Seneca Creek backcountry

Roughly 60 miles of trail below and around Spruce Knob, the highest ground in West Virginia at 4,863 feet. The Forest Service runs it as part of the Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, 100,000 acres designated by Congress in 1965. Trailheads are on forest roads rather than highways, and Seneca Creek is crossed several times without bridges.
