Kerens offers a quiet, outdoors-forward lifestyle with quick access to essentials and adventure alike. Set in Randolph County, it’s a short, scenic drive to the small-city amenities of Elkins—think local cafés, arts events, and community festivals—while the trailheads, trout streams, and overlooks of the Monongahela National Forest begin practically at the doorstep. Weekends can swing from back-porch serenity to panoramic views above Blackwater Canyon, with day trips to the creative mountain towns of Davis and Thomas for galleries, live music, and wood-fired pizza.
Families appreciate the small-community feel and the straightforward school options. Public education is served by Randolph County’s school system in the Elkins area, and lifelong learners find lectures, performances, and continuing education opportunities through Davis & Elkins College. When the urge to roam hits, favorites like Blackwater Falls’ iconic cascade await at Blackwater Falls State Park, while anglers and paddlers chase cold-water seasons on nearby rivers and creeks. Housing in Kerens runs the gamut—from snug cabins tucked among hardwoods to acreage with room for gardens, workshops, and gear. Many residents work in or around Elkins, enjoying an easy commute and a strong sense of neighborliness back home.
