Lindy Point is located in Blackwater Falls State Park, and it is one of the best winter hiking trails in the park. The trail is less than a mile long, making it easy to complete. What makes this trail special is the cliff that gives you an expansive view from more than 3,000 feet above the ground. In addition to this trail, you can find more than 10 miles of other trails to trek if you need to see more of Blackwater Falls State Park.
Canaan Valley Resort State Park
The Canaan Valley ski area is the best place for those who do not have their snowshoes with them. It’s no problem because the Cross-Country Recreation Center has gear available for you. Once ready to head out into the cold, you will find acres of open area to explore. Located near the Allegheny Mountains, you can go where you please. The area is ungroomed, so be prepared to work through the snow in some areas.
