Buckeye blends river-country calm with easy access to big outdoor adventures. Set along the Greenbrier River just south of Marlinton in Pocahontas County, it’s minutes from the car-free Greenbrier River Trail, a 78-mile path prized by cyclists, runners, and anglers. Weekend plans often revolve around nearby parks: trek ridge-to-ridge at Watoga State Park, trace Civil War history and sweeping overlooks at Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park near Hillsboro, or explore high-elevation bogs in the Monongahela National Forest. Winter and summer alike, world-class terrain at Snowshoe Mountain and the mountain hamlet of Snowshoe are an easy drive.
Families appreciate the small-community feel and the support of Pocahontas County Schools, with extracurriculars that lean into the outdoors—think trail stewardship, music, and athletics. Daily errands, healthcare, and dining are close by in Marlinton, where performances at the historic Pocahontas County Opera House keep the calendar lively. For a broader gallery-and-bistro scene, Lewisburg offers an upbeat day trip. Newcomers often start planning hikes, float trips, and festival weekends with the county’s tourism hub, Nature’s Mountain Playground, which spotlights events, trail conditions, and seasonal ideas.
Whether you’re seeking a cabin by the river, acreage with mountain views, or an in-town home close to schools and services, Buckeye makes daily life feel unhurried and connected to nature.
