Fort Boreman in West Virginia

If you have read my first post, you know by now that I like to frequent the local parks and forests around my home in West Virginia.

Fort Boreman has a ton of history as a Civil War Fort.

There is a nice short walk through the face of the hill overlooking Parkersburg, and parts of Belpre, OH. I like to take my son here because he can see the trains when they go by downtown.

This photo is of the staircase near the overlook.

One of the many views overlooking the two cities and the Ohio River. It was this view that made Fort Boreman such a strategic outpost as they were able to see any troops making their way in the surrounding areas.

Stones set up as stairs through the jungle, as my son calls it.

There are a few trails to take at the Fort. This photo was taken down another trail while we were taking a rest from the climb. Boy does he love to say "Cheese!"

The carvings go almost all the way up the tree, as a testament of how long this area has been visited.

Wild and Wonderful, West Virginia.

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it and the adventure I had with my son. Update and Follow me for more content of local West Virginia parks and photography.

Thank you for reading.
