Amazing views and the grounds are kept impeccably clean . The walk down to the lower, "real" overlook is not handicap friendly , though there is an upper overlook .

Laureen O

From the top (handicapped) overlook . Definitely worth the trip down for the better view . Visitors Center and rest rooms close at 5pm.

Jenya S

Views of the gorge are absolutely gorgeous . Best view imho is from the behind of the visitors center .

Melanie

Free beautiful stop on a road trip. After checking out the great view , go inside for a really nice museum and clean bathrooms !

The view is whats good here! Amazing. Try walking the bridge if you can stomach it!

178 steps to the lower overlook . Easier going down than going up! ???? #WorthIt

The New River Gorge! Gorgeous place. You must stop here!

Well worth a side trip to visit when crossing WV. An amazing feat of $37 million worth of engineering .

Came in from Long Pt Trail . 1.5 miles of moderate difficulty. Awesome walk.
