Mason County WV Convention & Visitors Bureau

Cradled in the foothills of the rugged Appalachian Mountains and bordered by the majestic Ohio River, Mason County's beautiful landscape, friendly people, and unique heritage await you. Our historic county seat, Point Pleasant, is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Great Kanawha rivers. A small but vibrant river town, Point Pleasant provides opportunities for shopping and dining, as well as the chance to learn about epic battles and a tenacious pioneer culture that contributed to the character of the America that we know today. Mason County, a land of rolling hills and dense forests, is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy bird watching, camping, boating, fishing, hiking or cycling. While traversing the hills and valleys of the county, be sure to keep watch for the infamous Mothman - a large, winged creature whose presence in the county in the 1960s continues to spark the world's curiosity. Whether your passions include history, mystery, nature and the outdoors or anything in between, Point Pleasant and Mason County have something to excite you and your entire family. Come on down - we look forward to welcoming you!
