About Olive Hill

Olive Hill is a quiet Carter County community set right along Tygarts Creek, which winds straight through downtown. Built around an old railroad line in the creek valley, the town has a relaxed, down-to-earth rhythm with plenty of green space and outdoor recreation nearby. Between the historic depot trailhead in town and Carter Caves State Resort Park just up the road, it is an inviting spot for anyone who loves hiking, paddling, and scenic Appalachian hills.
