National Park

New River Gorge National River

Intro
    By Plane
Charleston WV, approximately 70 miles northwest of the park, is the closest major airport. Some flights are also available nearby at Beckley WV.

 

By Car
Highway access is from Route 19, between Beckley and Hico, and from I-64, between Mossy and Sandstone.

 

By Public Transporation
Amtrak service is available to three locations in the park, three days a week. The Cardinal, traveling between Chicago and Washington DC, makes scheduled stops at Hinton and Prince, with Thurmond as a flag stop for passengers with reservations. Greyhound has a bus terminal in Beckley. Taxi services are based in Oak Hill and Beckley.

 

Getting Around
The four visitor centers, primitive campgrounds, and several dozen trailheads, and river access points are located along narrow and winding roads. Allow plenty of time to travel between locations, and use safe speeds and courtesy on one lane roads.
