Fayette Station Road Tour

New River Gorge National River

A one hundred year-old road of hairpin turns winds down to the bottom of New River Gorge, across a narrow bridge, and up the other side. This CD will carry travelers back in time along Fayette Station Road to when coal was king and more than forty coal mining towns lined New River Gorge.

Coal Heritage Trail

Fayette Station Road is a spur of the
Coal Heritage Trail, which traverses five Southern West Virginia counties between Fayetteville and Bluefield.
