Cunard rewards residents with a quiet address and front-row access to world-class outdoor experiences. Tucked in fayette county and minutes from both fayetteville and oak-hill, it places everyday needs close by while opening the door to the remarkable landscapes of New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. From here, whitewater trips and riverside picnics start at the National Park Service’s Cunard River Access, a popular launch for the Lower New River. Trail lovers lace up for the shady, railroad-graded Southside Trail, while climbers and sightseers head for Endless Wall Trail and the photogenic Long Point overlook.
Iconic views are never far away. The soaring New River Gorge Bridge anchors the region’s identity and provides a sense of scale you feel on every drive across the canyon. For a change of pace, Babcock State Park’s grist mill and family-friendly loops deliver a classic state-park day, from leaf-peeping to trout fishing.
Families appreciate that everyday life stays manageable: small-town services in nearby communities, and public schools served by the county system with bus routes crisscrossing the area. Weekends practically plan themselves, whether it’s hiking before brunch in town or an after-school bike ride along the river.
