Davis, WV

Davis provides a refreshingly eclectic-yet-utilitarian atmosphere unlike anywhere else in West Virginia. It’s a peaceful place where time moves a little slower; a place where you can see the stars at night. It’s the kind of place that when you travel – no matter where your adventures lead – you’re always excited to come back home.

The folks who call Davis, and Tucker County, home are incredibly passionate about living here, and that passion is palpable in the smiles of residents and storefronts of local businesses. It’s a place where you’ll get a homey “howdy” from local passersby and recommendations on the best trails from local adventurers, and you’ll be on a first-name basis with the barkeep after a few local pints.

Discover Davis

Davis is currently best known for its world-class outdoor recreation opportunities and outstanding access to pristine and wild public lands. Davis lies in the heart of a celebrated system of rugged mountain biking and hiking trails. It is but a short drive to some of the country’s best whitewater kayaking and rafting streams and rivers, and just ten miles from three unique downhill and cross-country ski resorts in Canaan Valley.

Davis has become home to a thriving scene of local businesses, artisans, eateries, and breweries. It is a hub for skiers, hikers, bikers, hunters, art lovers, and beer lovers. Davis has recently been popping up at the top of tourism and outdoor recreation “best-of” lists, proving it to be a town to watch as Appalachian tourism continues to grow. As the steady revival continues, Davis is quickly becoming known as a hip place to visit or even relocate for those who are passionate about the outdoors or peaceful small-town living.

Doing Business

Davis has been experiencing an economic renaissance that continues to gather steam. With the past industries of coal, wood and furs long gone, Davis is experiencing a refreshing boom in the modern industries of outdoor recreation, tourism, artisan shops, live music, local restaurants, craft beer and spirits, and information media. Diverse groups of visitors are traveling from near and far to experience and contribute to this small town revival. And with more and more visitors coming, opportunities for new businesses abound.
