The New River is spanned by the New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville, West Virginia, which is open for BASE jumping on Bridge Day.
It is also a very popular river for white water rafting (class II-IV in season, IV-V during the spring run-off), and several commercial outfitters offer a variety of guided trips.
Those willing to brave the colder water of spring will be rewarded with a more challenging big-water experience.
Near the bridge, there are over 1400 single pitch sport climbs and trails suitable for hiking and mountain biking.
