About New River Gorge National Park & Preserve
America’s 63rd national park, the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, is home to more than 70,000 acres of public lands and has been a hallowed spot for locals for centuries. The most iconic landmark representing the park is the steel arch bridge that spans over 3,000 feet across the picturesque gorge. There's no shortage of adventure in the park as outdoor recreation is one of the main pillars. World-class whitewater, miles of hiking and biking trails and exception climbing opportunities await at the New River Gorge.
