The Cranberry Glades Botanical Area was established to protect the largest area of bogs in West Virginia. Brought here by the glaciers, the four bogs of the Glades contain life similar to the bogs or “muskegs” of the north. A half-mile boardwalk constructed through two of the bogs lets you enjoy the area without harming the fragile eco-community.

Go South-West from Elkins on US-219 [S Randolph Ave] for 71.6 miles
Bear RIGHT (North) onto SR-39 [SR-55] for 6.4 miles
