New River Gorge National Park

Rising 876 feet above the river, the New River Gorge Bridge is the longest single-arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere and a must-see in West Virginia. Visit in October for Bridge Day, when the span opens to pedestrians and daring BASE jumpers. The rest of the year, try a guided Bridge Walk, where you’ll clip into a harness and cross the catwalk beneath the bridge while hearing stories of its history.
