Belva hums with river energy where the Gauley meets Twentymile Creek, offering front‑row scenery and a laid‑back pace between mountain adventures. From town, WV 16 and 39 put daily needs and bigger outings within easy reach, with shopping and community events in Summersville and major employers, arts, and air travel in Charleston.
Weekend plans practically write themselves. Whitewater legends are born on the Gauley each fall; learn more about flows, access, and trails through the National Park Service’s Gauley River National Recreation Area guide at the NPS site. For broader exploration, America’s newest national park surrounds the New River; its overlooks, climbing, and rail history are detailed by the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Prefer a leisurely day? Cruise the rim road to dramatic vistas at Hawks Nest State Park, or swim, paddle, and fish the clear waters showcased by Summersville Lake.
Families appreciate practical schooling options. Students typically attend the county system; calendars, enrollment, and bus details are available through Nicholas County Schools. Routine and specialty care are close by at WVU Medicine Summersville Regional Medical Center, adding peace of mind to the outdoor lifestyle.
