Belmont, OH

Belmont is a quiet, historic village tucked into the rolling hills of eastern Ohio, roughly twenty minutes west of Wheeling. Founded in the early 1800s along old trail and railroad routes, the town has kept its peaceful, small-community character over the years. One of the biggest perks of living here is having Barkcamp State Park just a mile down the road, making it easy to spend weekends fishing on the lake, hiking through the woods, or camping with family.
