Monongahela National Forest 📍

Spanning the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, Monongahela National Forest sprawls across 900,000 acres of diverse landscapes. Its lush forests, rolling hills, and rugged mountains create a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. With abundant trails, including those in the designated Cranberry Wilderness, hiking, camping, fishing, and wildlife watching are popular pursuits. The forest offers primitive and roadside camping, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature. While embracing its wilderness charm, it’s important to note that limited cell service adds to the authentic back-to-nature experience. From the Allegheny Plateau to mountainous terrains, Monongahela National Forest beckons adventurers to explore its untouched beauty and embrace the outdoor splendor of the Appalachian region.

Monongehella and Geo Wash. National Forest Campsites, Shelters, Observation Towers and Scenic Vistas

Andy | January 22, 2021

Interactive map of various campsites, shelters, scenic vistas and observation towers that I created by a mix of heads up digitizing and querying the OpenStreetMap for West Virginia. The heads up digitizing is a bit rough as it is based on memory and I don't get to West Virginia all that often. You will need to zoom in to see the Forest Service Topographic Maps.
