Gorgeous Gorge
Just north of Pipestem RV Park and Campground lies New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. This area is a historical gold mine: you can learn about the stories of John Henry and the construction of the C&O Railroad, the West Virginia mine wars, and the ghost town of Thurmond, just to name a few. The New River weaves through deep canyons and attracts plants and wildlife, including river otters, 10 species of bats, rhododendrons, and peregrine falcons, to name a few. The local history combined with the beautiful Appalachian Mountains’ diverse habitat creates a unique combination of outdoor experience and quiet getaway that is too often overlooked.
