Review of Huntington, West Virginia


Mediocre is definitely the word.
Star Rating - 9/5/2005
Just as Chris stated, there is not a lot to do around Huntington. There are bars (not very good ones). The only reason that there is a noticeable population is because of Marshall University. When the school goes on summer break, you will notice the difference. But there is a silver lining... If you enjoy the outdoors, this is a good place for you. There are 2 lakes in the area: Beech Fork Lake & Lake Vesuvius, both with trails, wildlife, and beautiful scenery! Within a couple hours drive, there are also white water rafting opportunities, caving, biking, climbing, hiking, etc. If you don't enjoy the outdoors, then there is not much that Huntington can offer you.
