New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, West Virginia
A rocky, whitewater river flowing northward through deep canyons, the New River Gorge sits in the dense Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. The river is one of the earliest in North America. This new national park is a whitewater rafting paradise and THE place for rock climbers! But The US National park has only been designated as this in 2020, making it the 63rd national park.
It covers over 70,000 acres of land down the New River, is full of cultural and natural history, and offers many scenic and recreational opportunities. The National Park & Preserve encompasses more than 70,000 acres of land and is merely a one-hour drive from Charleston, the state capital. It also contains several fantastic hiking trails.
