Charlton Heights sits along the Kanawha River with quick access to wild, scenic country and everyday essentials. Residents enjoy a short hop to Montgomery for groceries and services, and easy drives to Fayetteville and Beckley for dining, events, and employment. Weekends often revolve around the outdoors: the cliffs, trails, and overlooks of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve invite hiking, climbing, birding, and paddling, all showcased by the park’s official gateway experiences through the National Park Service.
Adventure is close in every direction. Hawks Nest State Park offers canyon views and seasonal jet boat rides on the New River, while Babcock State Park pairs rhododendron-lined trails with the photogenic Glade Creek Grist Mill. Anglers and paddlers can explore quiet river miles near town or head a bit farther for guided whitewater on the New and Gauley.
Families benefit from the countywide resources of Fayette County and its school system, with district calendars, athletics, and student services available online through Fayette County Schools. Higher education is just across the river at BridgeValley Community and Technical College in Montgomery, with expanded four-year options at WVU Tech in nearby Beckley. Healthcare needs are covered locally by Montgomery General Hospital.
