Hawk’s Nest Rail trail in Hawks Nest State Park, West Virginia


On our final day of the road trip, we hiked almost 4 mi on the Hawk’s Nest rail trail. It was a lovely mostly flat trail alongside a creek that had lots of waterfalls. At the turnaround point there was a pretty lake and train trestle.

We had lunch at the Overlook at the New River Gorge restaurant. The food was okay, but the view was great. Our legs were very sore so when we saw a side road that led down to the river, decided to soak our legs and feet in the ice cold water.

It’s been a great trip! Hopefully the beginning of many more this summer.

I'd love to hear what you have to say
