new river gorge bridge

So beautiful the walk down the steps was alot but so well worth going down them n seeing the view !!!!! Loved it !!!!

First time visit and well worth the hike up through the woods for the view. So many different coliors and absolutely breathtaking.

I enjoyed what I could see of the bridge and river, but weather prevented as extensive of a visit as I would have liked, and the best visitor center walkway is not cleared of snow. At least I know it's worth a return visit! Food and bathrooms are nearby.

The bridge and sights around it are beautiful. Check out the visitors center for the background and an amazing view of the bridge

I live here in fayetteville, I see the new river gorge and bridge on a daily basis and to be honest I am blown away every day. Each and every time I drive over the bridge or stand at the bottom and look up at it am overcome with a smile and a warmth feeling of thankfulness that I live in such a beautiful place! Come and see for yourself!

This place is Beautiful!! Take time to drive below the bridge. Make time to watch the slide show/movie in visitors center, its very cheesy but fun.

We did the catwalk. WOw! What a neat perspective. Doug was our guide, and he was great. We got to spend along time up on the bridge, and he had some stories..... If you can, try to do this.

This is the sort of place you can spend a few minutes or several hours. I was in the area on a business trip so I opted for the latter. The visitor center is right off the road adjacent to the bridge. They have an easy walk to the first vantage point and then down several stairs to the next. Both points I visited offered beautiful views.

I really enjoyed my stop at the bridge and visitors center. The view points are spectacular, it is alot of stairs to the closest viewpoint to bridge. The stop only requires about 30 minutes in all but worth it.

Traveling North to my daughter's I crossed this bridge and had to stop at the visitors info center to learn more of this amazing structure. Inside there is an 11 minute movie that talks about the Gorge things to do there and about the construction of the bridge. This bridge is the largest arched bridge in the world and is 876 feet above the gorge. After viewing the visitors center I took a short walk to the overlook to get a better view of the gorge and bridge. Someday I want to return and take the wooden path down to the bottom of the gorge.

The title says it all. I go there to jump of the bridge once a year at Bridge Day. It's really beautiful there and a great place to go hiking with the family. A lot of trails and things to see. You can rent canoes and go down the river or do more advanced water rafting. Whatever your choice is, you're sure to have a great time there!

Very nice visitors centre with the history of the gorge. It's a remarkable bridge and the view is breathtaking. Worth stopping for half an hour.

Take the time to stop and alk the trail. It's a great view of the bridge and a nice walk down to the water.

An awesome structure, from above, on and below! Do not miss the visitor's center at the north end of the bridge. Visit the overlooks (2), easily accessible from the visitor center parking lot. If time permits drive the narrow road into the gorge from the north side, cross the New River on a bridge that is the replica of the original bridge, and come back up to the main highway on the south side of the New River Gorge Bridge. You can obtain a pamphlet and a CD (free of charge!) that will point out the high lights of your trip along the road. Allow at least an hour for the trip.

The views from the visitor center overlook were well worth the stop. The visitor center itself was also worthwhile. It presented a nice history of the area as well as information on local flora and fauna. Parking is easy and the center was clean and well-maintained.
