    Eight waterfalls to visit this summer in West Virginia

    No. 5: Glade Creek Falls

    Glade Creek in the

    "The lower falls on Glade Creek is an ideal spot for a back-pack picnic. Bring your bathing suit, as there's a lovely pool below the falls, with plenty of smaller pools to explore upstream and down. The falls are located on the 5.6-mile Glade Creek Trail, less than a mile from its lower trailhead at the . Plan to spend time exploring: There's plenty to see and do along the way. The park service operates a campground near the trailhead."
