Greenland Gap Preserve

Greenland Gap Preserve is a 250-acre nature preserve in Grant County, WV. It is open to the public for hiking. Park at the pull-out near the main entrance sign at the west end of the preserve. The primary feature of the preserve is the well-developed, symmetrical water gap formed by the North Fork of Patterson Creek. The entire gap is ringed by Oriskany Sandstone cliffs, which rise 800 feet above the cool, clear waters of the creek. While October with its fall foliage is the most dramatic and colorful time to visit, every season is beautiful at Greenland Gap. Hundreds of turkey vultures and ravens can be seen in the summer circling in the gap’s warm updrafts. Please note that there are no maintained trails at this preserve.
