Hawks Nest Resort State Park overlooks the

features a working gristmill, one of the
most-photographed American vacation spots.

West
Virginia Whitewater Rafting |
Two great American whitewater rivers course
through West Virginia's "Whitewater Country" -- the mighty
New River
and the challenging Gauley
River. Most of the more-than-20 West Virginia whitewater
rafting companies offer Bridge Day vacation
packages, which may include meals, lodging,
and a whitewater rafting trip beneath the
New River Gorge Bridge during the Bridge Day
Festival.

Mountain
Biking: New River Gorge |

among the most popular times to tour the New River Gorge
by bike.

New

|
Historians and railroad fans will adore the
autumn color excursion through the New River
Gorge on the New River Train in mid-October. Their journey stops at the
historic passenger station at Thurmond,
WV and

District and the Hinton Railroad Days
festival.

Guided
Float Fishing Trips |
|
No other outfitter
guides as much of the New and Greenbrier rivers as Last
Chance Outfitters. We've been float fishing these waters for
more than 40 years and know precisely where the fish are
biting. The majestic Greenbrier River is great for light
tackle or fly fishing. We provide all the
transportation from your place of lodging, though guests
have the option to stay in our modern cabin with 300 feet
of private frontage on the Greenbrier River.

|
|
New
River Jetboats |
|
If you're looking for river excitement
without the challenge of a whitewater
rafting trip, a leisurely jetboat excursion
through the lower New River Gorge will fit
the bill. From the lofty lodge at Hawks
Nest Resort State Park, you'll descend by
aerial tram to the river where you'll board
the "Miss M. Rocks." The sheltered
boat tour plies upstream into the shade of
the New River Gorge Bridge before returning
to the lodge.
