Extending from the banks
of the Ohio River down the Interstate 77 mountainside corridor,
Wood County is a blend of rugged country beauty and metropolitan
activities.
For the outdoors type, boating on the
Ohio River is a great way to spend a day. Whether casting
for an Ohio musky or racing a powerboat, the Ohio River
is large enough to handle it all.
More inland, canoers and hunters will
enjoy the bountiful streams and game. For those more into
traditional athletics, the Wood County area features a
number of softball leagues, basketball courts and high
school stadiums guaranteed to keep your year-round sports
attention.
For those who enjoy the indoor scene, the Wood County
arts community is a well-established outlet for creative
expression. Museums, vaudeville theaters, a ballet company
and the satellite home for the West Virginia Symphony will
keep many artistic supporters entertained.
Shoppers will enjoy Grand Central Avenue, anchored by
the Grand Central Mall. The mall features more than 100
stores and neighbors a number of different restaurants.
