Lindy Point Overlook

Carol Phillips on 2025-06-17

A short, easy hike, a big view, and a quiet moment you’ll carry home with you.

A little slice of heaven, just a short drive from your cabin door.

If you’re looking for a simple adventure that rewards you big, Lindy Point should be on your list. Just 35 minutes from Harman’s, this short and sweet trail winds through the woods and opens up to one of the most breathtaking views in all of West Virginia.

It’s the kind of spot that makes you stop, take a deep breath, and remember what peace feels like.

What Makes Lindy Point So Special?

  • A View You’ll Talk About for Years: The Blackwater Canyon stretches out below like a painted postcard. Come at sunset for golden light and a quiet you can feel in your bones.
  • Nature’s Conversation Piece: There’s a massive 35-foot balancing rock near the overlook that always gets folks talking. Kids love it. So do photographers.
  • Every Season Shines: In summer, the trail is lined with wildflowers. Fall? A blaze of color. Winter brings a stillness that’s pure magic. And spring? Fresh air and promise.
  • Perfect for Families: The trail is short, flat, and well-marked—just right for little legs and anyone wanting a peaceful walk through the woods.

    • Need-to-Know Trail Info

  • Trail Distance: 0.8 miles roundtrip
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Parking: Small lot at the end of Lindy Point Road (go early on weekends and fall foliage season)

    • Getting There from Harman’s

    Take WV-32 North for about 14 miles to the entrance of Blackwater Falls State Park. Follow signs to Lindy Point Trailhead. It’s well-marked, and the drive is beautiful in its own right.

    🍁 Harman’s Tip:

    If you’re visiting in the fall, Lindy Point becomes a patchwork quilt of reds, oranges, and golds. Bring your camera—or don’t—and just soak it in.

    From our family to yours:
    Lindy Point is one of those places that finds a home in your memory. We always say, it’s not about how far you go—it’s about how the place makes you feel. And this one? It’s pure mountain magic.

    Conquering Chimney Top: A West Virginia Hike with Stunning Views

    Carol Phillips on 2024-07-09

    West Virginia is a state known for its natural beauty, and Chimney Top, just 2.3 miles from Harman’s Luxury Log Cabins, offers a challenging hike with some of the most rewarding views in the area.

    The Hike

    The hike to Chimney Top is a 5-mile out-and-back trail, typically considered challenging. The trail winds its way up North Fork Mountain through a mix of forest and open areas. Hikers can expect a steady incline throughout, with some steeper sections towards the summit. The path can be rocky and uneven in some spots, so be sure to wear proper footwear.

    Despite the difficulty, the trail is well-maintained and offers stunning views along the way. For those looking for a challenge, the final ascent to Chimney Top is particularly rewarding. Here, hikers will find themselves scrambling over large rocks to reach the exposed summit.

    The Payoff

    Once at the top, hikers are treated to a breathtaking 360-degree panorama. The views encompass the surrounding mountains, valleys, and forests, making it a perfect spot for a picnic lunch and a photo opportunity.

    Planning Your Trip

    The best time to visit Chimney Top is from April to October when the weather is pleasant, and the trails are clear. While the trail is dog-friendly, be aware that some sections are steep and may be difficult for some canine companions.

    The trailhead is located on Smoke Hole Road and has a small parking area that can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. An early start is recommended to secure a parking spot. There are no amenities along the trail, so be sure to pack plenty of water and snacks.

    Chimney Top: A Must-Do for Adventurous Hikers

    If you’re looking for a challenging hike with stunning views in West Virginia, Chimney Top should be at the top of your list. Just be sure to come prepared for the climb, and you’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable experience.

    Additional Tips

  • Bring plenty of water and snacks.
  • Be aware of the weather conditions before you hike.
