Cheat Canyon Wildlife Management Area Bouldering

From I68 eastbound, take exit 23 (Bruceton Mills) and head right (towards Albright and Kingwood). After about 12 miles, you will find a small blue sign for Teter’s Campground on the right. Make the sharp right turn towards the campground, but drive past it on the left. About 1/4 mile past the campground, there is an obvious gravel parking lot on the left with a red sign labeled “Cheat Canyon Wildlife Management Area.” Park here, and head down the trail. After about 100 feet, take the right fork (the left one is a little overgrown and unappealing anyways). After about 3 minutes, the trail intersects with a flatter trail following the river downstream. 2 more minutes down the trail, passing some newly renovated sections of trail, there is a cairn on the left marking a faint climber’s trail to the first area (it’s a few feet past the large red oak over the trail). If the cairn is for some reason removed, it shouldn’t be hard to walk to the river bank and find rock. A few hundred yards further down the trail, there is another cairn, and an obvious climbers trail on the left, heading downhill to the second area. If you walk maybe 100 yards further down the trail, you can also walk down a fisherman’s trail to a beach area to swim. The approach to the first sector is 5 minutes, and 7 minutes to the second sector.
