About Deep Water
Deep Water is a small riverside community in Fayette County, West Virginia, set right along the Kanawha River with a population under 200. Located just downriver from scenic Kanawha Falls, the town got its start in the late 1800s as a key rail link hauling Appalachian coal toward the East Coast. Today, life here is quiet and unhurried, framed by steep forested hills and peaceful water views. Residents enjoy great fishing and quick access to the outdoor recreation Fayette County is known for, while nearby communities like Montgomery and Gauley Bridge handle daily errands and dining.
