Recreation and Attractions

Rafting & Kayaking

The New River and Gauley River are two of the world's most popular whitewater-rafting streams. Tens of thousands of rafters, beginners and experts, challenge their rapids every year. More than a dozen of America's most-trusted rafting companies operate base camps less than 15 minutes from the guest house and will be happy to arrange a trip for any age group or level of mastery.

Rock Climbing & Rappelling

Rock climbers appreciate our proximity to the Meadow River Gorge. Less than a mile away and running for more than a mile along the rim of the gorge, these sandstone cliffs also outcrop nearby around the New River Gorge and Summersville Lake, two of the most popular climbing areas in the East. However, the Meadow River cliffs are isolated and relatively unexplored. Plenty of outfitters are available to guide your trip or provide expert information on routes and problems.

Hiking & Biking

Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails wander through the nearby national parklands, visiting old ghost towns, towering cliffs, and spectacular waterfalls. Many trails have been developed by the National Park Service, but many more await your investigation among state parks and private woodlands beyond.

Hunting & Fishing

Hundreds of square miles of public hunting land and countless lakes and streams await hunters and anglers. Deer, turkey, and bear are plentiful in the forests around the national parklands and in the nearby Monongahela National Forest. Anglers will never forget their adventures on our legendary cold-water streams and on Summersville and other nearby lakes.
