Randolph County rewards everyday life with big-sky scenery, friendly towns, and room to breathe. Much of the county is embraced by the sprawling Monongahela National Forest, where trout-filled streams like Shavers Fork and the Tygart Valley River invite fishing, paddling, and quiet sunrise walks. History literally rolls by aboard the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad, offering scenic excursions through valleys and high-country spruce.
In Elkins, you’ll find a lively arts scene, community festivals, and local eateries, plus the renowned Davis & Elkins College, which brings concerts, lectures, and lifelong-learning opportunities to town. Just down the road, Beverly showcases preserved 18th- and 19th-century streetscapes and a deep connection to the region’s frontier and Civil War past. Families appreciate the breadth of programs and athletics offered by Randolph County Schools, along with youth sports, music, and outdoor clubs that make after-school hours count.
Weekends are easy to fill: ride steam to high ridges, explore ghost towns along rail-trails, or make a day trip to the switchbacks of Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. For trip ideas, events, and seasonal itineraries, the team at Elkins-Randolph County Tourism keeps an up-to-date calendar and insider tips.
