Blackwater Falls State Park

Blackwater Falls State Park is located in
the Allegheny Mountains of Tucker County, West Virginia,
USA. The centerpiece of the Park is Blackwater Falls, a
62-foot (19 m) cascade where the Blackwater River leaves
its leisurely course in Canaan Valley and enters
rugged Blackwater Canyon. It is among the most
photographed venues in the state and appears on
calendars, stationery, advertisements of all kinds and,
most famously, on jigsaw puzzles. The River is named
for its tannic acid-darkened water.
