New River Gorge National Park is located along a 50-mile stretch of the scenic New River, which offers exceptional outdoor recreational activities both on land and on the river. You can really get back to nature by bringing along your tent or (small) RV and setting up camp in one of the eight primitive campgrounds dotted throughout the park. Although the campgrounds are all located close to the river, you will need to bring along everything you need as there are no hook-ups and limited access to restrooms. Activities in the park include whitewater rafting, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing on the river as well as hiking, cycling, rock climbing, and wildlife watching.
