Just up the road from Fayetteville and Oak Hill, residents spend weekends exploring the gorge, biking singletrack, or relaxing by a campfire. The area sits beside the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, with iconic sights like the New River Gorge Bridge and excellent orientation at the Canyon Rim Visitor Center. Mountain bikers and families alike love the laid-back scene at Arrowhead Bike Farm on Gatewood Road, while outfitters such as Adventures on the Gorge and ACE Adventure Resort make whitewater, ziplining, and climbing easy to try—and easy to love.
Day-to-day life feels refreshingly simple, with errands and dining in nearby Fayetteville and regional services in Beckley. Students are served by the Fayette County Schools district, known for expanding career and technical programs, and adults can upskill close to home at New River Community and Technical College.
