Southern West Virginia is a beautiful region to live, work, and play. The outdoor venues offer some of America’s best recreation assets; walking and hiking areas, rail trails for biking, multiple gentle rivers for paddling, town parks with natural playgrounds, and climbing and bouldering areas. The Active SWV programs offer the introductory step into these activities with Community Captain volunteers leading. Programs also include hikes in parks, gentle yoga classes, beginner Tai Chi, pickle ball, dance aerobics, and the signature of all programs; Walking Groups.
