Seneca State Forest is West Virginia’s oldest and largest state forest, covering 12,800 acres of mountain ridges and hardwood valleys along the Greenbrier River near Marlinton and Durbin. 23 miles of hiking and biking trails wind through the forest, connecting to the Allegheny Trail and a stocked fishing lake. Historic Civilian Conservation Corps cabins and a restored fire tower offer unique overnight accommodations, blending outdoor adventure with 1930s-era forest heritage and year-round recreation.
