Petersburg Attractions
The small town of Petersburg, West Virginia has just over 2,000 inhabitants. It is the main service center for the surrounding wilderness. It is a good place to base yourself if you are planning to do any fishing, or water based activities.
Petersburg Gap
The Petersburg Gap is result of the erosion powers of the North Fork of the Patterson Creek. The creek has cut through Oriskany Sandstone and has created 800 foot cliffs on either side. Two hiking trails lead into this remote area and are quite strenuous. The Petersburg Gap is also called the Greenland Gap.
Smoke Hole Caverns
For those with a desire to head underground, the Smoke Hole Caverns are not to be missed. A weird and wonderful world of stalactites, stalagmites, and even helecitites, await the visitor. The caverns are cool so be sure to bring a light sweater.
