Cheat Canyon is a beautiful 10-mile gorge where the Cheat River carves through the Allegheny Mountains, creating steep forested slopes. Once devastated by coal mining, it has rebounded into a haven for wildlife, with protected species like the Indiana bat and the flat-spired three-toothed snail. It is a popular destination for whitewater adventures, and is a very scenic stretch of the ALT.

The cliffs at Coopers Rock Overlook are one of the main attractions on the entire property. There are fences and barriers at most of the cliff edges, but it's still smart to be "edge aware" while in the viewing area. There are some binoculars that take quarters that you can use to get a better view of the surrounding skylines and ridges. This overlook is just a short walk from the main parking area, so it's one of the more crowded spots within the park. As you branch off on some of the hiking trails, you instantly get more solitude and really get to experience the peacefulness of this state forest.
