Every organization we link to: local tourism offices, the state and federal agencies that manage the land, the nonprofits and clubs that keep access open, and the universities doing the research.
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.
