Golf in Belpre

Belpre is a Washington County city on the Ohio River across from Parkersburg, West Virginia, where the river defines the state boundary and the physical landscape of a community built around the river economy. The French name—beautiful meadow—reflects the riparian landscape of the Ohio River bottomland that drew early French and American settlers to this productive corner of southeastern Ohio. The river's presence continues to define Belpre's character and economy, with petrochemical and manufacturing facilities along the river corridor providing the industrial employment that sustains the community.
