New River Gorge Bridge

Reviewed By NeoWasHere - Frederick, United States

We viewed the longest arch bridge in the Western hemisphere from the overlook decks on the Canyon Rim Visitor Center grounds. Its arch span is 1700 ft. long and the roadway is 876 ft. above the New River. The bridge opened for use in 1977 after taking over three years to complete. Every year on the third Saturday of October, Bridge Day is held to celebrate the anniversary of the bridge's completion. On Bridge Day, they close down the bridge to vehicular traffic as thousands of spectators walk across it and gather around to watch BASE jumpers risk their lives jumping off it and parachuting down to the landing zone or river below. Rappelling is also permitted. Bridge Day 2020 was cancelled due to safety concerns around mass gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic. In its 40 year long history, this was only the second time Bridge Day had been cancelled with the other being in 2001 due to 9/11. See you on October 16, 2021 all you adrenaline freaks!

We’ve done a ton of escape rooms and this is one of the best. Really creative puzzles and theming, and great incorporation of technology. We’ve done two of their three rooms and are on a dinner break before heading back to do the third!

Long Point Trail

Reviewed By jensmithrn - Hurricane, United States

Great hike that ends in beautiful views of the gorge and New River Gorge bridge! The last 0.2 miles has a bit of a steep section, but was well worth it!
