Jefferson County, West Virginia is a remarkable part of West Virginia—scenic, wild and wonderful (of course), culturally sophisticated, historic, exciting—the perfect place for those who love adventure and the outdoors.

Discovering Jefferson County by bike, hike or kayak is fabulous, but there’s so much more to explore beyond the trail, bridge or waterway. Making your way “inland” to Harpers Ferry, Bolivar, Charles Town, Ranson and Shepherdstown is such an unexpected pleasure because each has its own individual ambiance and variety of attractions, restaurants and events.
