Located at the New River Gorge National River, the trail is the best starting point for hikes in the area. The mostly flat dirt and rock trail travels through a mixed hardwood forest with sites of mushrooms throughout the under-story. Among the wonders of the New River Gorge, the rock outcrop known as Long Point provides a 360-degree panorama that includes one of the best views of the New River Gorge Bridge. Bring your camera and binoculars to capture the view. There are no guardrails along the cliff ledges so use caution.
