Small-town serenity on the banks of the Kanawha River

Rural Outdoors River Nature Fishing Quaint

Montgomery is a small West Virginia town nestled between the meandering Kanawha River and the scenic foothills of the Kanawha State Forest. With a population just over 1,000, Montgomery truly is a small town. A compact town center holds a smattering of apartment rentals, national chain restaurants, and mom and pop shops. Its location means that most of the entertainment comes from venturing into the nearby state forests for a hike, getting on the river to boat or fish, or gather at one of the local watering holes in town. The New River Gorge is a short drive southeast, and is one of the most popular rivers to kayak in the world. This is a relatively secluded locale, but it’s easy to explore the rest of the riverside communities thanks to U.S. Highway 61.
