Welcome to the Gorge 👋
I'm a local who's lived in the New River Gorge area for 13 years. I started this site because every time someone visits, they ask me the same questions — where do locals actually eat? what trails are worth it? where should we stay?
So I wrote it all down. These are honest, experience-based picks — no sponsored posts, no affiliate pressure. Just what I'd tell a friend.
