About Lavalette

Sitting about eight miles south of Huntington, Lavalette is a quiet community set along Wayne County's Twelvepole Creek. It offers a relaxed, small-town setting where green hills and creek valleys frame everyday life. Named after the daughter of a historic railway official, the area centers around Route 152 and Route 75, giving residents an easy drive into Huntington for work and shopping while keeping a calm, rural feel at home.

Outdoor recreation is one of the biggest perks of living here, with Beech Fork Lake sitting right on the edge of town. The surrounding recreation area features boat ramps, scenic hiking trails, great fishing spots, and easy access to Beech Fork State Park. For anyone moving to the area, it provides a comfortable balance between nearby city amenities and a slower pace out by the water.
