\nFalls of Hills Creek<\/a>\u00a0 “The first 1700 feet of trail is paved and has a wheelchair accessible path to the upper falls viewing platform.” \u00a0 “This popular 114 acre area contains three waterfalls – 25 feet, 45 feet, and 63 feet. The lower falls, at 63 feet is the second highest waterfall in West Virginia.”
\nWhispering Spruce Trail #567<\/a>\u00a0 0.5 mile. \u00a0“This nature trail winds through windblown rock where one can feel the sharp west wind blow. It then leads out to a point where giant boulders are scattered through an open field. Exceptional views to the east and west are seen beyond” \u00a0“The wide hard graveled path has gentle slopes.”
\nSherwood Lake Trail # 601 3.5 mile loop around Lake Sherwood. \u00a0Judging from the topo map, this trail is pretty level. \u00a0However, I haven’t found a difficulty rating. \u00a0Call first.<\/p>\n
