About Berwind

Tucked into the rugged hills of McDowell County, Berwind is a quiet mountain community with deep roots in southern West Virginia’s coal-mining heritage. Originally built in the early 1900s as a bustling company town, the area now offers a scenic, slow-paced lifestyle away from the rush of bigger cities. Berwind Lake sits just down the road, giving residents an easy local spot for weekend fishing, camping, and hiking. State Route 16 winds through the surrounding valleys, connecting the community to neighboring towns across the region.
