With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Marlinton, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Greenbrier River Trail, I.O.O.F. Lodge Building and Pocahontas County Historical Society Museum. Don’t miss Little Levels either! Just 30 miles away, Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park, Cranberry Glades Botanical Area and Falls of Hills Creek Scenic Area are must-sees here.
