| Quality of Life in Gilmer County |
| Open for Living |
|
Quality of life considerations are exceptional in Gilmer County. Located in West Virginia's "Mountain Lakes" region, and easily accessible, the region’s rolling hills, peaceful countryside and deep, clear waters offer adventure for lovers of all kinds of outdoor activities. We are proud of our sparkling water, fresh air and lush, green hillsides. Miles and miles of countryside and riverside are here for your enjoyment. We're a mecca for hunting, fishing, hiking or strolls in the woods.
Families and Neighbors...
With a very low crime rate, unlimited recreational opportunities, a low cost of living, and prevailing community respect for family, church, education, work and community, Gilmer County is an optimal location to raise a family. We are the kind of community where families and neighbors are very important. In 2001, the new Senior Citizens Center opened to serve the nearly 500 county residents age 65 and older. Local churches are quite active within the community. Gilmer County is where business is encouraged and supported, where employees still believe in an honest day’s work, and where people are on a first name basis with community leaders.
Endless Recreational Possibilities...
Cedar Creek State Park offers residents and visitors a variety of activities, as does the County's Park & Recreation Center. A leisurely trip along the Little Kanawha Parkway or Cedar Creek Backway provides residents and visitors a relaxing stroll or bike ride along many historical and scenic areas within the county.
Educational Opportunities...
People in Gilmer County consider themselves fortunate to live in a community that combines the low cost and sensibilities of rural living coupled with the extensive educational opportunities available through Glenville State College (GSC). GSC currently enrolls approximately 1,400 students and offers more than 30 degree programs. It has 28 buildings on 30 acres at the main campus in Glenville and 325 acres in a wide variety of wooded property.
