Elkins, West Virginia
Submitted by Rachel
Elkins is an Appalachian town of about 6,000 and it is great. There are always different festivals going on (mostly during the summer) and has a good mix of hillbilly/hippy like people. It is the county seat of the state, has its own hospital, and a small 4-yr college, so the town reflects that with its diverse group of people. It is within miles of the Mongohalia National Forest that provides ample trails for hiking and mountain biking. The Cheat River provides great swimming holes (mostly locals know where to find them) and leisure tubing (usally followed by a floating cooler!). Its history started back when as a railroad town, and they have recently added a scenic tour of the area using the original train.
Elkins provides a mixture of small town life, great outdoor activities, and a couple great downtown bars. I will be a senior at U of Michigan and it wasn't til I moved away that I've come to appreciate my hometown as much as I do now. As many like to say, its "almost heaven"
