Perched on the rim of the New River Gorge, Fayetteville is a true outdoor paradise. The New River is only a few minutes away, offering incredible opportunities for fishing and whitewater rafting, but visitors who would rather stay on dry land can also head into the surrounding mountains to hike and mountain bike. However, if you'd prefer to stay in town, you certainly won't be bored. You can browse the local boutique shops, take a walking tour of the charming historic district, or settle in at the local brewery with a pint of craft beer.
