Summers County flows at the pace of its rivers, where the New, Greenbrier, and Bluestone shape daily life and weekend plans alike. The county seat, Hinton, anchors a picturesque downtown with rail-era architecture, galleries, and cafes, while just beyond town you’ll find year-round recreation. Cast a line or launch a kayak at Bluestone State Park and explore miles of shoreline on Bluestone Lake. For bigger adventures, ride aerial trams, hike canyon rims, or play a round with sweeping mountain views at Pipestem Resort State Park. The thunder of Sandstone Falls delivers a stunning backdrop for photos, picnics, and easy riverside trails, and cyclists love the car-free miles of the Greenbrier River Trail.
