Nallen offers small-community living with an adventurous backyard. Locals head to the whitewater and riverside trails of the Gauley River National Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service, at Gauley River National Recreation Area, while flatwater paddlers and anglers prize the clear coves of Summersville Lake just up the road. Weekend drives bring photo-worthy stops at Babcock State Park and easy access to bucket-list scenery at New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Hunters, birders, and botanists also frequent the nearby Meadow River Wildlife Management Area for quiet bottoms, ridgelines, and seasonal migrations.
Families appreciate that Nallen sits at the crossroads of Fayette County and Nicholas County, with schooling options supported by both Fayette County Schools and Nicholas County Schools. For study time or community programs, the Nicholas County Public Library in nearby Summersville offers events, tech access, and a well-stocked collection. Daily needs are met by local markets and outfitters, with larger shopping, healthcare, and entertainment an easy drive to Beckley.
