Twin Falls Resort State Park
Twin Falls Resort State Park is a 3,776-acre state park on a wooded ridge in the mountains of Wyoming County in southern West Virginia. Named for the waterfalls on Marsh Fork and Black Fork of Cabin Creek, the park was established in 1964 on lands donated by Western Pocahontas Corporation and Pocahontas Land Corporation. In the following years, numerous amenities were constructed including a golf course, cabins, a lodge, and a pioneer homestead. There are more than 25 miles of trails in the park for hiking and mountain biking and a rustic campground.
