Description |
Black Rock on lower Section of the Smoke Hole ca 1930 Smoke Hole Canyon — often called simply the Smoke Hole (not to be confused with the actual town of Smoke Hole)— is a rugged 20 miles (32 km) long gorge carved by the South Branch Potomac River in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. Defined to the east by Cave Mountain and to the west by North Fork Mountain, the gorge has been part of the Monongahela National Forest's Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area since 1965, although some of it is still private land. The area is somewhat isolated and rugged with parts accessible only by boat. This photograph is included in Summer 1931 SAF Field Trip Tour Booklet 2012.36.110 Scanned |
