Blackwater Falls

Named for its onyx waters, these falls are colored by the tannin released from the hemlock leaves and spruce needles shed by the trees that line the river. This is one of the most photographed areas in the state but you don't have to do a lot of work to get there - the falls are easily accessed by a moderate hiking path and concrete stairs that guide you most of the way.
