RICHWOOD

In 1901, the town named Cherry Tree
Bottoms became the City of Richwood.
The town grew and became a thriving
area with growing businesses such as
the Cherry River Boom and Lumber
Company, a tannery, a paper mill and the
world's largest clothespin factory. Years
later, the Cherry River Boom and Lumber Company became Collins Hardwood
and the wood tradition continues with
two hardwood mills turning out over
two million board feet of lumber per year.
Richwood has a unique location with the Cherry River running
through it and the Monongahela
National Forest in its backyard. The
Cherry River connects with the Cranberry and Williams Rivers and these
rivers, collectively, are known for their
excellent trout fishing. There are also

many forest hiking trails surrounding
the town and the Cranberry Tri-Rivers Rail Trail running through town.
These trails, along with the New River
Gorge Bike Trail Alliance, provide a
fantastic network of trails for bike
riding as well. Summit Lake is a must
if you are looking for a great place to
relax, camp, hike or fish. Continue
east on US 39 and discover nature's
beauty at its best in the Monongahela
National Forest.
Located on the Cranberry River
in the Monongahela National Forest,
Camp Splinter was founded in 1940.
Over the years it has become a favorite
spot of not only Scouts, but fishermen,
families and those who just want to get
away from it all. To reach the Camp,
you must cross a footbridge or ford
a small stream, and don't forget your
fishing pole and swimsuit. Contact the
Richwood Area Chamber for rentals.
