Mystic Falls is a hidden waterfall reached along the Tramontane Trail at Holly River State Park in Hacker Valley, Webster County. The 2.5-mile moderate trail reaches this falls near its end point, around the 2.3-mile mark. West Virginia State Parks markets this as the park’s “hidden waterfall,” suggesting it is a less-known destination compared to other state park waterfalls.
Dogs are welcome on-leash as part of the park’s general pet policy, and there is no entrance fee. The moderate difficulty makes this suitable for most hikers, though the distance requires some endurance.
The “hidden” designation suggests a more secluded setting, making this a good choice for visitors seeking a quieter waterfall experience. The consistent water flow and established trail make it a reliable destination year-round.
