Our Byway & Backway:
The WV byway and WV backway located in the Gilmer County region
both offer travelers a beautiful travelling alternative to the major highway. The Little
Kanawha Byway and Cedar Creek Road Backway have been designated as such by the state of
West Virginia because of their scenic, historic, cultural, natural and recreational
resources.
