Bomont blends river-country quiet with easy connections to nearby hubs, making it a thoughtful choice for those who value room to breathe without losing access to essentials. Set along the Elk River, it’s minutes from the county seat in Clay, with quick routes to Clendenin and a straightforward drive to jobs, healthcare, and entertainment in Charleston. The area’s story even includes the famed discovery of the Golden Delicious apple, a point of pride across Clay County.
Weekends revolve around the water and woods. Paddle a quiet stretch of the Elk, or lace up for miles of rail-trail scenery at the new Elk River Trail State Park, detailed by West Virginia State Parks. Anglers appreciate state resources from the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources for planning a day chasing smallmouth and musky. Frequent travelers and visiting family benefit from nearby air service at Yeager Airport in the regional center.
Families find solid footing in local schools supported by Clay County Schools. Younger students can attend H.E. White Elementary right in the community, while older students head to Clay County High School for academics, arts, and athletics. You’ll also find enrichment through the Clay County Public Library and hometown traditions like the Clay County Golden Delicious Apple Festival that bring neighbors together year after year.
