Natural and
Scenic Sites
Hanging
Rocks
Within sight of Dempsey's Pottery is the interesting
rock formation referred to locally as the "Hanging Rocks." The cliff
extends out over and along the Replete Road for 100 feet or more. Years
ago pedestrians and horseback riders sheltered under the rocks in
inclement weather. The uniqueness and beauty of the rock has provided the
site of an occasional wedding.
Holly
River
Webster County Route 8 and the Mollohan Mill Road (a
spur) parallel the Left Fork of Holly River for approximately eight miles.
The river provides the traveler with many panoramic views as it winds its
way through hills toward the Elk in Braxton County.
Potato
Knob
Located just off Webster County Route 3 (the Hacker
Valley/Pickens Road), the Potato Knob has been a popular attraction for
tourists for many years. It is situated on the grounds of Holly River
State Park. The Potato Know Trail winds its way up the steep incline to
the summit of the hill. Negotiating the trail is a challenge, consequently
only those who are physically fit should attempt the trail.
Upper
Falls
This is a "must see" for people visiting the Mountain
Parkway and Holly River State Park. Recently completed observation deck,
stairway to the base of the falls, parking lot and upgraded road add
tremendously to the accessibility of this scenic treasure. It is just off
Webster County Route 3, the Hacker Valley/Pickens Road
