Myra trades stoplights for starlight, offering a peaceful base in the eastern Kentucky hills with quick connections to Pikeville and the wider services of Pike County. Weekend options span big views and deep quiet: roam cliff-top overlooks at Breaks Interstate Park, the canyonland gateway reached via Elkhorn City (official site: Breaks Interstate Park), launch a kayak or cast a line at Fishtrap Lake State Park (Kentucky State Parks), or catch a national tour at the Appalachian Wireless Arena (Appalachian Wireless Arena).
Families value the strong local school network through Pike County Schools (Pike County Schools), and many graduates stay close to home thanks to the University of Pikeville’s programs in health, education, and business (University of Pikeville). Healthcare needs are covered by a regional leader, Pikeville Medical Center, just up the road (Pikeville Medical Center), while the City of Pikeville keeps a busy calendar of concerts, festivals, and youth sports that draw residents from across the valley (City of Pikeville).
Housing around Myra ranges from creekside homes and ridge-top cabins to build-ready acreage, with drives along KY-122 placing daily errands, clinics, and campus events within easy reach. If you’re seeking a quieter pace without giving up amenities, Myra’s location and affordability make a compelling case.
