Perched on the rim of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, Adventures on the Gorge offers an escape from everyday and the chance to experience a slice of “Almost Heaven”. Tucked into 65,000 acres of pristine wilderness and 7,021 acres of park land, the Resort is both an outdoor playground for adventure enthusiasts of all ages and a majestic mountain hideaway. Adventures on the Gorge offers more than 60 outdoor activities such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, paintball, and zip lining. Guiding more than 40,000 guests down the New River Gorge and the world-class Gauley River annually, Adventures is home to some of the wildest whitewater on Earth. The Resort occupies 9 campgrounds, 10 RV sites, 103 cabins, 4 large vacation homes and 4 new glamping tents – all offering guests with the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in nature in their own version of comfort. Despite the incredible outdoor adventures, wonderful cuisine and spectacular views at Adventures on the Gorge, our most frequent feedback is a "thank-you" to the employees who provide unforgettable guest experiences.
