Your National Park Summer

This summer, hike, bike or paddle your way through New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in Southern West Virginia. With sweeping views, outdoor adventures and welcoming small towns, it’s the best place to spend long summer days.

Paddle miles of free-flowing whitewater, ride rugged mountain biking trails or climb sandstone cliffs on a guided rock climbing trip. Hike scenic trails that lead to some of the state’s most iconic views, from the horseshoe bend at Grandview to the towering span of the New River Gorge Bridge.

When the day winds down, explore the local history and culture, then settle in for a quiet night in a cabin or campsite tucked into the woods.
