This **7 mile** hike is **intermediate** because of the distance, the **ruggedness** of the trail, the **pace**, and the **1000-foot descent and 1000-foot climb** on a section of the trail. The trail is beautiful with many overlooks, natural beauty, and views of the lake, making the descent and climb worth it!

This hike should take about 4 hours including lunch and stopping at the iron furnace. The hike will take us down 1000 feet to Cheat Lake & back up again, passing an old Clay Iron Furnace that dates back to the 1850s.

We will meet at the Cooper Rock Lookout Parking Lot and start hiking promptly at **10:00**. This hike will leave **on time** \- please plan accordingly\.

Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Friendly dogs are welcome and must be leashed at all times. Bring water, lunch and snacks. Dress for the weather; we will do this hike rain or shine.

**Directions to Cooper Rock Lookout Parking lot are as follows**: Take I68 East from Morgantown WV to exit 15. Take exit 15 and then take first right onto County Route 73/12. Follow road and signs about 3 miles. Go through first parking area to second parking area which is a loop. This is where we will meet.

Please feel free to email Jeff or Terri with any questions.
