Welcome to Nature’s Mountain Playground!

Whether you come to play hard or unwind and relax, Nature’s Mountain Playground offers something for everyone!   Pocahontas County is more than a county – it is a vacation destination that is family friendly, easy on the wallet, and less than a day’s drive to most areas in the south and Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

We offer countless ways to explore and experience exhilarating outdoor recreation.  Travel pristine rail-trails that meander beside the free flowing Greenbrier River.  Hurtle down the slopes and trails at Snowshoe Mountain.  Chug across panoramic mountains vistas aboard one of three scenic trains or hike miles of wilderness trails in the Cranberry Back County. 

Cruise our winding country roads, or put your mountain biking skills on some of the most challenging terrain the East.  Step back in time at our colorful state parks and historic sites; hear the buzz of radio waves at the see the renowned National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

All along the way, you’ll be greeted by warm friendly people to enhance your visit. 

Pocahontas County is Nature’s Mountain Playground.
