Although this land has been protected by the National Park Service for over 40 years, the name "New River Gorge National Park and Preserve" is only a few years old. Join a ranger to find out what makes New River Gorge special enough to not only be a part of our national park system, but also have the title of National Park.

Fees

This event is free to attend.
