Overview

Located in the Monongahela National Forest, Canyon Rim is nestled in some of the most spectacular wilderness in West Virginia. The higher elevations offer very special scenery full of unique plants and animals. Many people visit the area and stick to the state parks. While these are great, and it's nice to see the well-known places, it's even better to be away from the crowds. Canyon Rim doesn't see a lot of traffic, and it's a great escape. The area is great for the off-road community and the people they may be traveling with. The campsites are beautiful and secluded. There are hiking trails with creeks, forests, and waterfalls to explore. With few people coming through and plenty to explore, it's a great place to take your dog.
