Fayetteville is a few miles from 70,000 acres of scenic cliffs, vibrant forest trails, winding waters, and breathtaking overlooks of the New River Gorge. This Appalachian Plateau is split by an ancient Class I-IV river, the New River, and is home to world-class climbing, rafting, and kayaking.
Whether you’re looking for a moderate grade trail, like Glade Creek, that follows an abandoned narrow-gauge railroad; or a strenuous workout on the Little Laurel Trail that connects Grandview with the New River 1,400 feet below, this area has a perfect hiking trail for you! Trails range from 1/4 mile to 7 miles. Some shorter trails can be connected to create longer excursions. Below are interactive maps and tools for you to plan your perfect hike:
