Before or after Babcock, there are MANY outdoor options, here are a few suggestions:

Hiking/running trails in the area are plentiful! The Long Point Trail is a local favorite- a short trip to a spectacular view of the bridge and gorge. Another favorite of mine personally is the Endless Wall Trail. Also a short trip, just 3 miles done as a loop- it has several amazing overlooks into the New River Gorge. Nice quality singletrack for running or walking, Click here for info.

If Mountain Biking is one of your interests, you will be a happy rider here! Many trails are accessible from the Fayetteville Town Park (how cool is that?) and a newly created system for bikes is just outside of town. Know as the "Arrowhead Trails" these singletrack gems are rated by difficulty and there are several loops and options. For more info on these and other area rides stop in Marathon Bikes in Fayetteville. Located beside the courthouse, and across from Waterstone- they have gear, maps, advice and all you need to have fun out there. To check them out, click here

Of course with so much quality mountain biking here we have two shops - New River Bikes is located on the main drag as you come into town. They offer quality service, and offer tours as well. You can check them out click here

Fishing in the region is fantastic with so many possibilities. The New River is fantastic for Small Mouth Bass and fishing trips can be reserved in the gorge section with professionals. The tributaries of the New offer amazing trout fishing as well! All of this is located in and around our New River Gorge Bridge. For more ideas and to see what your options are go to Profishwv
