Tips from the community
New River Gorge National Park, West Virginia’s first national park, is an underrated adventure spot located in the center of the Appalachian Mountains. Previously a mining town that boomed in the late 1800s, the now protected area consists of 53 miles of free flowing white water that continue to carve out the 1000 foot sandstone cliffs. It is the deepest river gorge in the Eastern United States and offers countless opportunities for exploration. With whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, and picturesque riverscapes, there’s an activity for any type of visitor.

As you zigzag up and down the windy roads, you’ll catch views of both the abundant, diverse forest and some vistas of the river below the gorge’s sandstone walls.
