ARDEN, BARBOUR COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA

'Arden' is a small unincorporated community located along the Tygart Valley River in Barbour County in the north central portion of the state of West Virginia, USA.
Previously built up along a railroad track, the community exists between two landmark rock formations: 'Hell's Gate' and 'Devil's Den'. Many whitewater enthusiasts shoot the shallow rapids of the river through this pristine section of the valley. The area is home to a notable number of native wildflowers and is locally notorious for its occasional drownings.
Arden is one of two communities so named in the state. It was named in 1775 by the Quaker Jacob Moon after the district of Arden in Warwickshire, England.
