AREA ATTRACTIONS

Southern West Virginia is an Ourdoor Paradise !

Southern West Virginia has something for everyone! The second oldest river in the world, the New River, flows northward through its beautiful hills and fields. The vistas are some of the finest in the East, including the beautiful New River Gorge spanned by the New River Bridge. West Virginia's largest one-day festival, Bridge Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October. Fishing is outstanding, especially for smallmouth bass and trout in the New River and surrounding rivers such as the Bluestone and Greenbrier. Boating and fishing at the Bluestone Dam is also a treat, and only minutes from Nostalgia Inn.
