Explore the back roads of our county. Watch the sunset from Spruce Knob. Float your inner tube around Big Bend in the Smoke Hole Canyon. Picnic along a country lane with sheep grazing in the field beside you. Life is slower here.
People take time to talk to one another.
Feel yourself relax and shed the stress of urban life. This is that place. Looking at a map of West Virginia, Pendleton County can be found tucked into the lower corner of what West Virginians call the Eastern Panhandle. It is the county with the highest elevation in the Potomac Highlands and its eastern, western and southern borders mark the headwaters of the South Branch of the Potomac River. Pendleton County is a hidden treasure because it has been spared the blight of heavily trafficked interstates, bringing noise, pollution and hordes of people going somewhere else.
