Colfax rewards residents with a peaceful, riverfront pace and quick access to adventure, culture, and everyday essentials. Minutes from Fairmont in Marion County, this small community sits along the Tygart Valley River, where weekend plans often begin outdoors. Waterfalls roar after a good rain at the stunning Valley Falls, a favorite for hiking, picnicking, and photography at the official Valley Falls State Park. History buffs can step back in time at the living-history destination Prickett’s Fort State Park, while boaters and anglers head a few miles downstream to the marinas and trails at Tygart Lake State Park.
Families appreciate strong public resources. The Marion County Parks and Recreation Commission keeps calendars full with trails, playgrounds, sports, and seasonal events, and the Marion County Public Library System offers maker spaces, story times, and community programming. For lifelong learners and Falcon athletics, Fairmont State University anchors the region with academic, arts, and athletic events open to the public.
Commuters enjoy straightforward drives to employment centers in Fairmont and the broader I‑79 corridor, with big-game Saturdays and major medical hubs within reach in Morgantown. Housing options range from river-view homes to wooded acreage, appealing to anyone seeking room to breathe without giving up convenience.
