Montrose balances quiet country living with easy access to big outdoor experiences and everyday conveniences. A short drive from Elkins and Parsons, it puts you minutes from the rail-to-trail mileage of the Allegheny Highlands Trail and the trout-filled waters and trails of the Monongahela National Forest. Winter snowfalls and cool mountain summers make nearby Blackwater Falls State Park and Canaan Valley Resort State Park perennial weekend favorites for hiking, skiing, and photography. Everyday needs are simple to handle too, with groceries, healthcare, and arts venues a short hop in the county seat.
Families here benefit from the strong, countywide system at Randolph County Schools, while lifelong learners tap lectures, arts, and athletics at Davis & Elkins College. History and small-town festivals add texture in Beverly, and newcomers can plug into events, dining, and outfitter recommendations through Elkins-Randolph County Tourism. In Randolph County, housing spans riverside cabins, tidy in-town homes, and acreage with room for a workshop or garden, and commutes stay straightforward along US 219. Anglers chase spring hatches on Shavers Fork, cyclists enjoy fiery fall foliage, and winter sports return when the snow flies.
