More recognition for the cool little town of Davis, WV, in Tucker County. This time MSNBC names it one of the best towns for outdoor activities in the country. From the article:

Davis may have a diminutive population—624, at last count—but its dedication to the outdoors is gargantuan. Blackwater Bike Shop (304-259-5286), a local outfit owned by West Virginian mountain biker Roger Lilly, services some of the country’s top riders, and will also happily rent rookies their own fat tires, and point out top trails including the 28-mile Plantation Trail. Blackwater Brewing Company (304-259-4221) keeps bikers, hikers and skiers stoked with burgers, bratwurst and craft beers while the Bright Morning Inn (304-259-5119) lodges travelers in a former 19^th-century boardinghouse and saloon. And yes, there are skiers here; 150 inches of snow fall on Davis each year, creating scenic and surprisingly steep trails at Timberline Four Seasons Resort (866-438-7259) and Canaan Valley (800-622-4121). Crowds and lift lines are a rarity here.

If we could just knit together a little more infrastructure in that area to go along with the forthcoming Corridor H highway, the whole “Potomac Highlands” region of West Virginia could be positioned for some healthy growth.
