    Blackwater Falls State Park, nestled in the Allegheny Mountains, covers 2,358 acres and features scenic trails, dense forests, and beautiful waterfalls. The park's highlight is the 57-foot Blackwater Falls, known for its amber waters, and scenic overlooks that are some of the most photographed in the state. The park includes over 20 miles of short and extended trails, a campground with 65 tent and trailer sites, and a camp store, which is great for resupplying if you're hiking the Allegheny Trail. There is also a lodge and a nice restaurant, perfect for a comfortable overnight stay to explore more of this beautiful area.
