Alleghany County, Virginia

Alleghany County Location Map Virginia

Mountains, forests, and winding rivers define the landscape of Alleghany County. It’s tucked away in the western part of Virginia, right on the West Virginia border.

Visitors come here year-round. The George Washington and Greenbrier State Forests cover the entire county. Both offer endless hiking trails. Trout fishing in the Jackson River is top-notch.

Covington is the county seat that looks like a cut-out of the county. The area is known for its natural beauty, but there’s history here too. Alleghany has a slower pace of life. It’s the kind of place where you can really unwind. If you’re looking to escape, this might just be your spot.
