About Big Chimney

Big Chimney is a small, quiet community along the Elk River, sitting about ten minutes north of Charleston. Taking its name from a historic salt furnace chimney that once stood in the valley, the area offers a relaxed, wooded setting with an easy drive into the capital along Interstate 79 or Route 119. With Kanawha County schools nearby and easy access to river spots and city amenities, it is a practical, peaceful spot for commuters looking for a bit of space.
