Calhoun County, West Virginia
Calhoun County is about as rural as it gets. It’s in the center of West Virginia. Grantsville is the county seat. It’s a small place, but full of character. No traffic lights in the whole county.
The Little Kanawha River runs through here and it’s perfect for a lazy day of fishing. The hills are steep and forested. In fall, it’s like the whole county’s on fire with color.
The Calhoun County Wood Festival is especially popular. It brings the whole county together. If you’re looking to get away from it all, Calhoun County is your spot.
