Grant County, West Virginia

Grant Location Map West Virginia

The Monongahela National Forest is Grant County’s backyard. This county is in the eastern part of West Virginia, right in the Appalachians.

Petersburg, the county seat, sits on the South Branch Potomac River. Pretty as a picture. This place is a hunter’s dream with deer, turkey, and bear. The scenery will knock your socks off. Mountains, valleys, streams. It’s all here.

Skiers and snowboarders flock to Canaan Valley in winter. The rest of the year? Hiking, camping, and fishing are big draws. There’s history too. You will find plenty to explore for Civil War. It’s rural living at its finest.
