Tecumseh Falls
Tecumseh Falls drops about 10 feet over an overhanging ledge on Big Run in Holly River State Park, the second-largest park in West Virginia's state park system. It is the most accessible of the park's falls, viewable from an easy round-trip hike of roughly 2.2 miles (or via the longer Reverie Loop).

Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check West Virginia State Parks (Holly River State Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
