From Moorefield the drive west over the mountains pays off at Blackwater Falls, 57 feet of amber water at the end of a 0.4 mile walk with 100 feet of climb, dogs allowed. Swallow Falls State Park up in Maryland packs four falls onto one 1.25 mile loop, Muddy Creek at 53 feet the biggest of them, and the whole loop welcomes dogs. Seventeen falls come inside the radius. Falls of Seneca waits near the rocks that share its name, though nobody has measured a trail to it.
