Plan Your Summer Getaway

Make memories this summer in the 63rd National Park — the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Hike or mountain bike through the park’s extensive trail network, leading to some of the state’s most popular sights. Paddle miles of free-flowing whitewater or take on the challenge of scaling sandstone cliffs on a guided rock climbing trip

Visit the iconic New River Gorge Bridge, one of West Virginia’s most recognized landmarks, and take in its massive 3,030-foot steel arch from a nearby overlook or hiking trail. For a truly memorable adventure, join a Bridge Walk tour along the catwalk beneath the bridge for unmatched views 851 feet above the river. Or hop aboard a jet boat and enjoy a riverside perspective from below.

While exploring the New River Gorge area, make time to visit the charming town of Fayetteville. Wander its historic streets, and explore local shops and eateries.
