About McCarr

Tucked along the Tug Fork River in eastern Pike County, McCarr is a tiny, peaceful mountain community sitting right on the Kentucky-West Virginia border. Life here is quiet and close-knit, shaped by deep Appalachian coal heritage and the surrounding wooded hills. With historic Matewan just across the bridge, locals enjoy a secluded rural lifestyle with everyday conveniences and outdoor recreation close at hand.
