The West Virginia forests hide an innumerable amount of fascinating, unique rock formations. From the boulders at Beartown State Park to the towering pillar in Pineville to Seneca Rocks to hundreds of other interesting stones, rocks dot our landscape, adding a bit of unexpected flare to our already magical mountainscapes. One of these is the ominously named Devil’s Tea Table, and it is well worth the short, easy, convenient hike to see it for yourself.
Conveniently located not too far from Charleston, West Virginia, Little Creek Park is filled with unexpectedly magical finds, including trails, rivers, rocks, wildlife, trees, views, and more.
