Laurel Fork North Wilderness, Wilderness Area in Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia, United States.
The Laurel Fork North Wilderness spans 6,055 acres of protected forest land with diverse habitats, including riverside trails and mountain terrain.
The territory underwent extensive logging operations by the Laurel River Lumber Company until 1921, when all virgin forest resources were depleted.
The protected natural reserve serves as an educational site where visitors study forest ecosystems and observe native wildlife in its natural environment.
The area contains 9.5 miles of marked hiking trails, with the main Laurel Fork River Trail providing access to camping locations and swimming spots.
The wilderness territory maintains an undisturbed riverside environment along Laurel Fork, offering flat hiking paths different from typical West Virginia terrain.
