Seneca State Forest
Seneca State Forest is a state forest located in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Created in 1924, it is oldest state forest in West Virginia.[1] It is the second-largest state forest at 11,684 acres (47.28 km2).[2]
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources rents eight fully equipped pioneer cabins. As of 2013, the Thorny Mountain Fire Tower is also being renovated and will be available for overnight rentals.[3]
Public hunting and fishing is available in the forest. Visitors can boat on 4-acre (0.016 km2) Seneca Lake.[2] The forest contains a section of the Allegheny Trail and other trails, and is near the Greenbrier River Trail.[4]
A Civilian Conservation Corps camp was once located near the current Seneca State Forest office.[citation needed]
