The foundation’s dual mission is to promote preservation and recreation in Coopers Rock State Forest and nearby Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area. WEST VIRGINIA'S LARGEST AND MOST-VISITED STATE FOREST

Coopers Rock is West Virginia’s largest state forest, with over 12,000 acres. It is also one of the state’s most-visited forests, with easy access via I-68 to major population areas including Morg

antown, WV (home of West Virginia University) and Pittsburgh, PA. Best known for spectacular views of the Cheat River Canyon and world-class rock climbing, Coopers Rock also offers miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, trail running, and cross-country skiing. It is home to a diverse ecosystem of plants and animals (including threatened species), and is rich in history, with a 19th-century iron furnace and numerous stone structures built in the 1930′s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
