Hero: Cheat Mountain
small-sr Icon

A gentle road crosses the Cheat Wildlife Management Area. Cheat Mountain provides lush forested views and, in select spots, views off into the distance. The road surface is entirely gravel and suitable for any high clearance vehicle. The non-gated side roads lead to Shavers Fork and fishing opportunities. The road does cross a few patches of private land, and there are no pre-disturbed dispersed campsites along the way. However, if you are looking for spectacular camping, combine this road with Old Mine Road, which is a continuation of this route on its southern end. It would make for a good overland-style trip.
