    Tips

    Hiking

    It's hard to beat the northwest-facing perspective at Long Point, where the New River—and its famous namesake bridge—stretch majestically before hikers. And it's not a long trek, so it's relatively accessible too.

    Remember to communicate with other hikers and use trail etiquette, as there is a falling risk in the last few yards before the point and at the point itself.

    Mountain biking

    Enjoy panoramic views of the gorge and the New River Gorge Bridge from the Long Point viewpoint. This is a great trail for mountain biking, although riders should be cautious of hikers sharing the trail. Bikes are not permitted the last 0.2 miles before the top, but there is a bike rack available at this point.
