When you drive Old Mine, you will quickly forget you are in West Virginia. Built on an old mine site and logging area, the road offers expansive views reminiscent of the western United States. Directly from its northern start, the road begins to tell a story of mining and logging activity from years ago and the subsequent restoration of the area in recent years. It offers over 20 plus well-spaced dispersed campsites, all with variety, from ones with ponds to others with 360-degree views or even a handful nestled in the pines
As you drive the road, there are two forks. The first fork in the north takes you sharply uphill to an overlook. The second fork towards the southern end takes you to several wooded and non-wooded campsites and hiking trails. Both forks are worth taking simply for the views.
There is no trash service, and as always, please pack out more than you packed in.
