New
River Gorge National River
Long Point Trail travels 1.6 miles to a spectacular view of the New River
Gorge and the New River Gorge Bridge. The trail begins by traversing
through a field behind a number of houses, follows a relaxed forest trail,
and then takes a final short and impressive descent through rhododendron
and mountain laurel to Long Point. Caution is recommended around the
steep drop-offs at the Long Point area.
Impressive views of the New River Gorge, Wolf Creek drainage, and New
River Gorge Bridge are available from Long Point. CSX mainline railroad
tracks are visible on both sides of the river, and the extensive cliffs of
the "Endless Wall" are displayed across the gorge.
