Alma blends quiet, country living with easy access to everyday essentials. Set along WV Route 18 and the bends of Middle Island Creek, it offers room to spread out, starry night skies, and weekends that can shift from creekside fishing to a quick run into Middlebourne or Sistersville for errands and dining. Families appreciate the steady footing of Tyler County’s public schools; you can explore district details through the West Virginia Department of Education’s official website, and local programs and 4-H opportunities through the WVU Extension’s Tyler County office for everything from gardening workshops to youth camps.
Outdoorsy residents have plenty to explore. Cast a line or spot wildlife at Conaway Run Lake Wildlife Management Area, with regulations and access info from the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. For a bigger day trip, the wooded trails, lake views, and rail-trail connections at North Bend State Park are an hour’s scenic drive, with park details on the official state parks site. The historic Sistersville Ferry glides across the Ohio River in season, a favorite for weekend outings. Book lovers can tap the Tyler County Public Library’s services in nearby Middlebourne, while everyday shopping and additional amenities are a straight shot to New Martinsville.
