Things to do in Fayetteville

Fayetteville is a small mountain town on the rim of the New River Gorge, and it has become the adventure capital of West Virginia since the gorge was designated a national park and preserve in 2020. The New River, one of the oldest rivers in North America, carves a deep canyon through the region, crossed by the New River Gorge Bridge, one of the longest single-span arch bridges in the world. Rafting outfitters, climbing guides, inns and restaurants make up much of the town’s economy, and the surrounding region has a deep coal mining history.

    Outfitters run trips on the New River through the warmer months and on the Gauley, one of the country’s most challenging rivers, during fall dam releases.
