New River Gorge National River

Pros: Beautiful scenery. Many activities to try.
Cons: Long, winding roads.

I see so many epinions focusing purely on the Whitewater Rafting trips, which is fine, but I am here to tell you that the New River offers much, much more! As a 20+ year resident of the state of West Virginia, I have had my trips to enjoy the outdoor...

Pros: gorgeous views, first class climbing
Cons: wish i lived there

I live about 2 hours away from the Gorge, and take almost any chance I get to go there. I thin k I must have been born there and my parents didn't tell me. I feel very comfortable there, almost more so than I do in my own home. The area is so...

Pros: Pure Terror and excitement at the same time
Cons: You will get wet!!!

If you love extreme sports, try the Whitewater Rafting of The New River in West Virginia...The New River is the world's second oldest river and does provide America's best whitewater experience...I will not go into a ton of detail in my review, instead i...

Pros: scenery, rapids
Cons: scary at first, could be dangerous

When I visited New River Gorge National Park to go white water rafting, I was reluctant and scared out of my mind. I went on a trip with my church's youth group. We stayed in cabins near the river and the day after we arrived we were driven down to the...

Pros: Largest arched bridge in the United States
Cons: Don't stop on the bridge and look over if your afraid of heights...:)

As a West Virginian that crosses over the bridge almost daily I think of those before me who didn't have it to cross before the construction of it. And about how they may have missed out in seeing the fog rise up to the bridge as if you are driving on ...

Pros: Countless climbing routes
Cons: Far away

The climbing here is outstanding and is worth a trip. We spent two days here, which was not nearly enough to do it justice. There is ample, low-cost lodging available, although probably not during the busiest season. Our visit was in August, when...

Pros: great outdoors
Cons: none

We took a weekend last year to visit the New River Gorge area. We found alot of culture and history in the walls of the gorge, the new arch bridge, and the surrounding towns.

The ghost town Thurmond really was a highlight for me. The train...

Pros: gorgeous scenery, friendly people, great free camping
Cons: loud train

One of the best road trips I've ever taken was down to the New River Gorge National River Area. It is beautiful! There are lots of state parks in the area for camping (I hear one even has a hotel), but my tip - stay in the National River Area... it's...
