Smoke Hole is a scenic gorge located in the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, which is part of West Virginia's Monongahela National Forest. The south branch of the Potomac River carved a deep canyon through the area, creating sheer rock faces and a striking rugged landscape. Smoke Hole, named for the misty fog that's is often seen in the canyon, features a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, rock-climbing and canoeing. After a day of fun in the sun, visitors can find accommodations in a number of rental cabins.
Smoke Hole Resort sits in a lovely valley near Seneca Rocks. There are more than 20 log cabins along the Potomac River with full kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces, WiFi service, daily housekeeping and access to the resort's amenities, including a pool and an on-site fishing and hunting outfitter. The cabins range in size from romantic one-bedroom honeymoon cabins with a private Jacuzzi to a large cabin that can accommodate up to 20 guests. The resort is open year-round.
