Did you know that there is a new national park?
Located in southern West Virginia, the New River Gorge National River was officially designated as New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in early 2021. The park includes 70,000 acres of land, as well as the 53 mile long river, that provides many opportunities for outdoor recreation. The gorge is the longest and deepest river gorge in the Appalachian Mountains. The surrounding forest contains some of the oldest and most diverse flora and ecosystems in the world, where many endangered animals live.
