Appalachian Waters Scenic Byway
, WV
The Appalachian Waters Scenic Byway (Route 39) is a beautiful drive through five counties in Virginia and West Virginia. The eastern boundary of this popular, scenic route is Lexington, Virginia in Rockbridge County. Richwood and Summersville in Nicholas County, West Virginia are its most western points. In between these two areas, you’ll discover Bath County, VA and Pocahontas County and Greenbrier County, WV.
