The Devil's Tea Table at Burning Springs, West Virginia, in Wirt County, is a sandstone formation that extends from a hillside along the Little Kanawha River within the Little Kanawha River Wildlife Management Area.
The Devil’s Tea Table is an elaborate cliff that ends in a pedestal rock, often referred to as a tea table or mushroom rock. The harder rock at the top of the pedestal is significantly larger than the column of rock that supports it. These formations are known as tea tables, which often consisted of a round table top on a spindly center leg.
In the case of the Devil’s Tea Table at Burning Springs, the tea table was weathered from the Mannington Sandstone, which here caps the end of a ridge about the Little Kanawha River where it is joined by aptly named Rock Run. Unlike similar formations, which consist of a single table, here at the Devil's Tea Table, several tabletops cluster.
Visitors will need to use a high-clearance vehicle to reach the rock. The gravel road that follows the river through the management area—often designated as Burning Spring-Straight Creek Road (Wirt County Route 34)—travels over several rocky outcrops and fords Two Run, a small tributary of the Little Kanawha River.
The tea table formation is located at the following Google coordinates: 38.980896, -81.263956.
