    Tips

    August 19, 2023

    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.
