| The Black Forest Trail is a rugged
trail with many vistas as the trail winds up to heights overlooking Slate
Run, Morris Run , Big Dam Hollow, Naval Run, and Pine Creek. There are many
steep climbs on the Black Forest Trail but the vistas are well worth the
effort. In the spring, when the water is high, the many creeks that traverse
the trail provide numerous beautiful scenes. |
