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.

Big Run Falls from the Limerock Trail

While I don't recommend carrying a mountain bike up the Limerock Trail as there isn't a lot of good places to ride up that way, and it's a long 4½  miles hauling over a few waterfalls and cliff edges, it can be done. Better just done walking, and enjoying the scenery.
