About This Trail
This is the quintessential New River Gorge hike. The trail winds through mixed hardwood forest before emerging at a rocky outcrop with a jaw-dropping view of the famous New River Gorge Bridge—one of the longest steel arch bridges in the world. The 876-foot-high bridge spanning the gorge is particularly stunning during fall foliage or when morning mist rises from the river below.
Getting There
From Fayetteville, WV, take US-19 south. Turn right onto Gatewood Road, then left onto Newton Road to the Long Point trailhead.
