New River

We stop at the Gorge Bridge each time we drive back from NC on Rt. 19. It’s quite impressive: the view from the bridge, and the view of the bridge from below. Beautiful!

I have lived in WV for nearly 20 years now, My mom and I moved here when I was about a year old, and every year we go camping along the New River, we have a lot of fun Swimming, fishing and sitting near the camp fire roasting marshmallows. I look forward to every summer, just so I can go camping with my family on the New River.It has been a wonderful experience for me.

I went here on a “rafting wedding.” The bride and groom got married on the banks and then everyone went rafting. Awesome.

i advise booking your entire trip through ‘rivermen’ based on my experience (my school in NY has gone through rivermen 9 yaers running… great time

The first time I went to the New River was when the Gorge Bridge was still under construction. I was just a kid and my parents have pictures of me standing on the huge concrete pylons on which the bridge now sits.

The area is beautiful. Thank goodness there are still places like this to visit where there aren’t any skyscrapers in sight.
