Little Kanawha River Blackwater Falls
Fidler’s Mill, located on the Little Kanawha River, is
named for William Fidler, whose family owned the mill for
140 years. The mill is still operational, so guests can take
a tour before heading out to swim or fish on the river. Blackwater Falls is one of the most iconic natural features in
West Virginia. The falls create a 57-foot drop and breathtaking
views year-round, as the flow can be found frozen during the
coldest months.

Valley Falls Kanawha River
Before it was known as Valley Falls State Park, this
beautiful gorge was home to a railroad community.
Today, this 1,145-acre park, located near Fairmont,
hosts beautiful views for swimming and kayaking. The Kanawha River is full of history dating back to the 1600s.
While the current uses still include moving products around
the region, this 97-mile-long river runs directly through the
Capital City and allows for a myriad of water sports and events.
