Piketon delivers a small-town pace with easy access to the US-23 corridor, placing work, school, and weekend fun within easy reach of nearby hubs like Waverly, Chillicothe, and Portsmouth. Outdoor time is a daily perk, with fishing, paddling, and lakeside picnics at Lake White State Park, plus seasonal events at the county fairgrounds and local ballfields. Families appreciate the tight-knit feel and steady calendar of parades, youth sports, and community fundraisers that make it easy to plug in.
Education anchors the community through the Scioto Valley Local School District, home of the Redstreaks and a slate of academic, arts, and athletics programs. Piketon also benefits from a unique blend of careers in agriculture, public service, and advanced cleanup and construction tied to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Portsmouth Site. Innovation grows close to home at the Ohio State University South Centers, which supports small business, aquaculture, and specialty crops with research and extension services. Everyday errands are straightforward, with shopping and healthcare options in Waverly and throughout Pike County, and weekend getaways an easy drive in any direction.
