Fayette County, West Virginia

Fayette Location Map West Virginia

You want adventure? Fayette County has it in spades. It’s right in the heart of southern West Virginia. The New River Gorge Bridge is a sight to behold. Seriously, it’s massive with rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and hiking.

This whole county is an outdoor lover’s paradise. But there’s lots of history too. Coal mining shaped this county. You can still see its influence today.

The people here are tough as they’ve weathered ups and downs. Fayetteville, the county seat, has a cool vibe. It’s artsy, with good food and friendly folks. And don’t even get me started on Bridge Day. It’s wild.
