Nelson Rocks Outdoor Center (NROC), previously known as Nelson Rocks Preserve, is an outdoor recreation area located in the North Fork Valley of Pendleton County, West Virginia. The privately-owned nature preserve is dedicated to the preservation of Nelson Rocks as a natural, scenic, and recreational resource.

The mountainous 145 acre site^[1] is known for its sheer rock walls of Tuscarora sandstone and features a canopy tour featuring zip-lines, and a Via Ferrata.

Rock climbing was once common there; climbers may now climb only if guided by approved climbing guides.^{[citation needed]}
