Braxton County, located in the geographic center of the state, is rich with beautiful, unspoiled countryside and miles of creeks, lakes, and rivers. There are two dams in Braxton County: Burnsville and Sutton. These lakes have much to offer for leisure time or sporting. There are plenty of bass, bluegill, muskie, trout, walleye, and catfish for the fisherman, as well as camping, boating, backpacking and water skiing. Whitewater rafting, national forests, and snow skiing are just a scenic drive away.

Our community has a movie theater, bowling alley, riding stables, roller skating rink, the Flatwoods Outlet Mall, and a variety of dining choices. Braxton County is home to the West Virginia Hillbilly Players, a community theatre group, whose performances are held at the Landmark Studio for the Arts, a converted Victorian-era church. For the sports enthusiast, Braxton County High School and Middle School offer seasonal sporting events. There are churches of various denominations in our community.
