The New River Gorge: A Corridor in Time

Established in 1978, New River Gorge National Park & Preserve encompasses over 70,000 acres of land along 53 miles of the New River from Bluestone Dam to Hawks Nest Lake. A rugged, whitewater river flowing northward through deep and spectacular canyons, the New River is among the oldest rivers on Earth. In southern West Virginia, the New River continues to carve the deepest and longest river gorge in the Appalachian Mountains.

Hiking along the many park trails, rafting the river, or biking along an old railroad grade, visitors are confronted with spectacular scenery that certainly makes this place worthy of inclusion in our National Park System. This book introduces the reader to the many treasures to be discovered at New River Gorge National Park & Preserve.
