Our Area

Southern West Virginia comprises an impressive nine-county area, divided into three unique regions — Scenic Views & Endless Experiences, Timeless Towns & Farm Country and Historic Coalfields & Off-Road Adventures.

Across the region, you’ll find some of the state’s most beautiful landscapes, one-of-a-kind attractions, rich history and mouth-watering cuisine. Enjoy easy access to the outdoor recreation of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in Raleigh, Fayette and Summers counties. Soak in the small-town charm of Greenbrier County and cruise the winding backroads through Monroe County’s untouched farmlands. Explore Southern West Virginia’s coal heritage and hit the ATV trails in McDowell, Mercer and Wyoming counties. Then cool off with lake days and river adventures in Nicholas County, home to Summersville Lake and the Gauley River.

Discover the highlights of each region — from accommodations and dining options to attractions and landmarks — trip planning has never been easier!
