Frank rewards outdoorsy souls and quiet-life seekers alike with a setting that feels close to the wild, yet connected to friendly small towns. Tucked in Pocahontas County between Durbin and Green Bank, the community sits within easy reach of trailheads, trout streams, and scenic drives in the expansive Monongahela National Forest, managed by the USDA Forest Service. Whether your weekend looks like an early-morning cast on the East Fork of the Greenbrier or a foliage hike above highland valleys, you’ll find endless options in the Monongahela National Forest.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel and practical amenities. Students are served by Pocahontas County Schools, with many locals attending Green Bank Elementary-Middle and Pocahontas County High School. Science fans are just up the road from the world-renowned Green Bank Observatory, where guided tours and events make astronomy accessible to all ages.
When it’s time to explore, day trips abound. Steam into the mountains at the historic Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, or head to the county seat in Marlinton for local dining, riverfront strolls, and seasonal festivals. Housing choices in and around Frank range from cozy cabins to modest in-town homes, with room for gardens, gear sheds, and starry-night skies.
