Falls of Seneca is a waterfall in Pendleton County, West Virginia, about 20.5 miles east of Elkins and roughly 42.1 miles from Harrisonburg, Virginia. It lies in the state's Ridge and Valley region, a corridor of parallel forested ridges and farmed limestone valleys where waterfalls typically form as streams cut through resistant sandstone.
The falls
The site sits at about 2,467 feet in elevation; a second mapped point close by lists 2,477 feet, so the plotted position should be treated as approximate. No stream name, form, or height for Falls of Seneca has been published.
Getting there
A 2006 report from the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy placed the lower falls on private land at that time. No official trailhead, parking area, or current public-access status has been identified since, so it isn't clear whether the site is open to visitors today. Because the lower falls were on private land in 2006, anyone planning a visit should first get permission from the landowner and should not assume a public route exists.
Nearby
High Falls is about 15.8 miles away, Blackwater Falls about 20.4 miles, Whitaker Falls about 42.5 miles, and Toliver Falls, across the state line in Maryland, about 46.9 miles.
