No water flow right now (September 2, 2024) but still interesting rock formations to see

Cacapon Mountain Overlook is one of the most popular viewpoints in the entirety of Cacapon Resort State Park. There is an observation platform with a railing that looks out over the mountains. There is even an informational placard that tells you a bit about what you are looking at.

The Overlook Trail shares a path with the park road that leads up to the observation platform at the Cacapon Mountain Overlook and Prospect Rock Trailhead. The roadway gets steeper as it gets closer to the top and deteriorates from pavement to gravel as it approaches the upper trailhead. Be ready to move for other trail users if you are one of the faster bikes on the trail.

Small waterfall in a beautiful setting. Not overly spectacular but a good turning point for a hike. Attention: the branch path branches off a good 100m later (i.e. upstream) from the main path than shown on the map.

Though it's hard to single out specific spots along Glade Creek Trail for being more beautiful than others, this segment provides a lot of attractive opportunities to glimpse and hike alongside the creek.

Canaan Valley Resort State Park is one of the largest state parks in West Virginia, and is a great option for those who would like to experience the outdoors without sacrificing amenities.

The park was initially constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s, but additions and renovations continued throughout the decades.

Enjoy panoramic views of the gorge and the New River Gorge Bridge from the Long Point viewpoint. This is a great trail for mountain biking, although riders should be cautious of hikers sharing the trail. Bikes are not permitted the last 0.2 miles before the top, but there is a bike rack available at this point.
