Gallipolis Ferry pairs everyday convenience with Ohio River views, offering a relaxed pace just minutes from Point Pleasant and an easy hop across the bridge to Gallipolis. Weekends often revolve around the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam, where anglers work the tailwaters and visitors watch towboats rise and fall through the massive chambers. Nature lovers head to the McClintic Wildlife Management Area for pond fishing, birding, and seasonal hunts across thousands of acres that feel wonderfully secluded yet close to town.
Families appreciate the strong community feel and practical amenities. Students are served by Mason County Schools, with Beale Elementary School in town and older students typically attending Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High. Local heritage comes alive at the West Virginia State Farm Museum, where annual events, historic buildings, and hands-on exhibits celebrate the region’s agricultural roots. Daily needs are covered nearby, and larger-city healthcare, shopping, and entertainment await in Huntington, while the county seat in Mason County keeps services close.
Whether you’re casting a line before dinner or catching a festival weekend in town, life here leans into the river’s rhythm and the area’s storied past.
