Though New River Gorge National Park is the newest national park in the country, the New River is the oldest river in North America. Stop by the Canyon Rim Visitor's Center to learn more about the park and see an amazing view of the New River Gorge Bridge. Take the Fayette Station Road from the Visitor's Center and drive the route people used before the New River Gorge was built. This road provides an amazing view under the New River Gorge Bridge. For hikers, we recommend Long Point Trail, Endless Wall Trail, and Kaymoor Miner's Trail (explore an abandoned coal mine!).
We have been ziplining with Adventures on the Gorge and it was an amazing experience. They also offer the world-class white water rafting, an aerial adventure course, paddle boarding, and more. WV residents receive 15% all lodging and experiences through Adventures on the Gorge.
