Grant County Airport (PGC) is a small public-use general aviation airport serving Petersburg and West Virginia’s Potomac Highlands.

Its location near Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, and Dolly Sods makes it a convenient fly-in gateway for outdoor travelers.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors call ahead to confirm fuel and after-hours access, and they watch for rapidly changing mountain weather—valley fog and gusty crosswinds can differ sharply from conditions on the nearby ridges.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive southeast of Petersburg, so a car is the most practical way to reach town and nearby outdoor destinations. There is no scheduled public transit or rail service at the field; use a taxi, rideshare, or prearranged pickup if you do not have a vehicle. Rental cars are generally arranged in Petersburg or larger nearby towns, so confirm availability before arrival.
