Sign in to contribute

Pendleton County rises into the highest reaches of the Alleghenies in eastern West Virginia, anchored by Spruce Knob at 4,863 feet and the dramatic North Fork Mountain ridgeline. The Monongahela National Forest blankets most of the county with outstanding backcountry hunting for deer, bear, and turkey. Germany Valley farms and the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac provide a stunning mix of mountain and valley habitat.
