Tony Vanoy and I went hiking today at Cascade Falls in Pembroke, VA. Started out really great, we…read morethought it was 1.5 or 2 mile loop hike but OMG it turned out to be 5.57 miles roundtrip!! It cost a $3 per car to park and if you have America the Beautiful Card its free!! It was a beautiful day, but it was so long and so many stairs!! Over 1,000 stairs!!

The provenance of this site is somewhat unclear, but I think it falls under the federal government…read moreand putting up my national parks pass was successful in getting me through a visit without paying any additional parking fee. The main falls are two miles uphill from the parking lot, but the entire journey is a series of eminently worthwhile sights and sounds. Signs warned of challenging currents for anyone taking a dip in the water, which some people did. I would note that when I arrived a rescue operation was underway and emergency services did drive someone by me with what thankfully appeared okay. There are trails on one elevated bank and one closer to the water, as well as some offshoots and extensions. It's a great stretch of forest where you could easily spend more time than the couple of hours I did.

One issue I've had with most of the stops in WV is the lack of information. I would of loved to of known where the cabin was from, what year it was from, the general history. Alas, there was no plaques to be read. It was locked due to vagrants. Supposedly they will open it up during reenactment days. It's peaceful and beautiful in the fall. It never seemed too busy the two times I drove through. There are restrooms, but I didn't partake. There are also picnic tables available. A man made pond for fishing was being actively used. I am not sure what fish are stocked in it. I did get to see a deer and apparently they're fed or not people shy as it was in the parking lot close to people nearby. Hopefully this doesn't become a problem, particularly during rut. We walked a small trail just to get out and enjoy the rare 81 degrees in November. It was peaceful. I could see myself spending a lot of time here. Volunteers were busy setting up holiday displays of different characters. They do a Christmas drive thru light show, but I will sadly be missing it.

The main park office lies in a historic hamlet surrounded by farms. A parking charge applied, and if you parked somewhere else along the extensive trail perhaps you could get by without it, but the sights were certainly well worth seeing. I made it maybe a mile down the trail to a riverbend overlooked by a bluff ideally suited for sunsets, but there was a lot more to explore. Some boating was available, and a horse seemed interested to meet me as I departed.

The park here contains some sidewalks both at street level as well as closer to (but not on) the water, as well as an amphitheater and a few other facilities. I visited once when the street was closed to make way for a festival; festivals are nice but the notion of closing a street rather than having a real park seemed not that great. When there's no event going on, it's not the most happening place. Some work has been done on the area, and perhaps more will be done.
