Polls Plateau Trailhead — photo spot in 380 Polls Bridge, Shady Spring, WV 25918, USA
Polls Plateau Trailhead
Small trailhead that opens onto Appalachian ridge and plateau scenery — mixed hardwood forest, open grassy balds and distant ridge lines. Best for landscape shots (seasonal fall color, spring wildflowers), intimate forest compositions, and atmospheric dawn fog. Access via a roadside parking pullout; no fee but limited spaces. Trails are moderate with some steep sections—check weather in winter. Visit at sunrise for warm side-light and low fog; late afternoon yields softer light and long shadows.
