Hardy County, West Virginia
Hardy County is in the eastern part of West Virginia, right in the Appalachians. The South Branch Potomac River is the main attraction. Clear, cold, and full of fish. Yep, trout fishing in Hardy County is hard to beat.
Moorefield, the county seat, has a lot of history. The county’s big on agriculture. Poultry is a major player. But it’s not all work. The scenery here is stunning with mountains, valleys, and forests.
Lost River State Park is a local favorite. Hiking, horseback riding, cabins in the woods. But not the movie. It’s peaceful here and it’s a good place to unwind. The people are friendly. Hardy County has character, no doubt about it.
