Black Fork Falls is a seasonal waterfall on the Falls Trail loop at Twin Falls Resort State Park in Mullens, located roughly a quarter mile past Cabin Creek Falls. The West Virginia State Parks office notes that this falls is rain-dependent and typically flows best in winter or spring; it may dry up significantly during summer months.
The 1.25-mile moderate hike covers a paved approach trail and connects with the loop system, making it accessible to dogs on-leash as part of the park’s general pet policy. The exact height is not officially documented, but the falls is notable as a secondary cascade on a multi-waterfall trail system within a single state park property.
Timing your visit around the wetter seasons—or shortly after a rain—will give you the best chance to see this falls at full flow. If you’re hiking the Falls Trail, plan to visit both Black Fork and Cabin Creek Falls in the same outing to maximize your time in this scenic area.
