Richwood has a mountain setting with close proximity to Monongahela National Forest and access to a great number of recreational areas.  Three tributaries of the [[Gauley River]] ([[Williams River (West Virginia)|Williams River]], [[Cranberry River (West Virginia)|Cranberry River]], and Cherry River) all flow wild within this portion of the forest.  A scenic highway and visitors center also lie at the intersection of WV 39 and [[WV 150]], which is close to the [[Cranberry Glades Botanical Area]] and the [[Cranberry Wilderness]].  The Cranberry Glades Botanical Area is the southernmost Canadian-style bog in the world.  [[Summit Lake (West Virginia)|Summit Lake]] offers the only flat water recreation in the immediate area. Richwood is also home to Cherry Hill Country Club, a nine-hole golf course located on top of Hinkle Mountain.
