In Point Pleasant, the Mothman Festival, held every September, celebrates the legendary local monster. And for heart-stopping views, hike to the Seneca Rocks, with their sheer face cutting through the tree tops of the Monongahela National Forest.

“There are so many things I love about Shepherds Cove, but I would have to say my favorites would be the natural setting, the peacefulness, friendly neighbors, and the feeling of being safe. We love our privacy; however, when we want entertainment or adventure … we’re already there. The things to do and the area’s activities are endless! Another favorite at the top of my list is the farmers market and all their homemade goodies. And, there is no congestion. On top of that, everyone is SO friendly, and I LOVE that.”
