Visit The Heart of Southern West Virginia

Located in the Appalachian Mountains, Beckley, West Virginia, is where adventure meets culture. With easy access to both ends of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, you’re never far from hiking trails, whitewater rafting and rock climbing. 

Discover some of Southern West Virginia’s most spectacular views at Grandview. Wander peaceful forest trails or stand atop the main overlook, where you’ll take in an incredible, bird’s-eye view of the New River’s iconic horseshoe bend from 1,400 feet above.

Back in town, learn about the state’s coal heritage at the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine or browse Appalachian art and goods at Tamarack Marketplace. From adrenaline-packed adventures to laid-back days, a summer visit to Beckley-Raleigh County offers the best of Southern West Virginia.
