Laurel Creek Tract

The Laurel Creek Tract is an ideal property for outdoor recreation of all kinds. This 100 acre tract sits on Laurel Creek, a beautiful stream feeding into the Gauley River National Recreation Area. The tract offers great access via Lucas Road along the frontage, and a maintained gravel road for access to the interior of the property. The gently sloped forestland would make a perfect site for your getaway cabin with power running along the road frontage, and service lines running the interior of the property.

Located less than 30 minutes from Fayetteville, there are recreation opportunities abound. The New River Gorge and Gauley River offer world-class whitewater and rock climbing, and the best day hikes that West Virginia has to offer.
