Cabwaylingo State Forest, Nature reserve in Mingo County, United States.
Cabwaylingo State Forest encompasses 8,125 acres of dense forest with diverse ecosystems, reaching elevations up to 994 feet in southern West Virginia.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed 14 guest cabins, park headquarters, and picnic shelters during the extensive development projects of the 1930s and 1940s.
The forest's name combines elements from four surrounding counties: Cabell, Wayne, Lincoln, and Mingo, reflecting the regional administrative boundaries.
The forest maintains two distinct campgrounds: Tick Ridge with 8 basic sites and Spruce Creek featuring 11 spots, including 6 with electrical connections.
The Tick Ridge Fire Tower, constructed in 1935, stands as one of the few remaining fire observation structures in West Virginia.
