Fayetteville’s Best-Kept Secrets – Adventure, Eats & Epic Views
1. Tear Up the Trails with a Bluejacket Off Road Jeep Tour
If you haven’t booked a Jeep tour with us yet, you’re missing out. Our guides take you to the best hidden spots in the gorge, from cliffside overlooks to gnarly rock crawls that’ll have you gripping the wheel. Plus, we know the stories behind the trails—old mining towns, ghost legends, and spots where you can catch some serious wildlife sightings.
2. Ride the Rapids – Whitewater Rafting
The New River and Gauley River aren’t just for sightseeing—they’re for conquering. Book a rafting trip with one of the local outfitters and get ready to tackle Class III to V rapids. Feel the spray, hit the rocks, and hang on tight. It’s a wild ride, and you’ll be grinning ear to ear by the time you hit the takeout.
3. Hike the Endless Wall Trail
You haven’t seen the gorge until you’ve seen it from above. The Endless Wall Trail is one of the best hikes in the state, with sheer cliffs, lush forests, and views that go on forever. It’s not for the faint of heart—some of these drop-offs are intense—but if you’re up for it, the payoff is worth every step.
4. Check Out the New River Gorge Bridge
This ain’t just any bridge—it’s the second tallest bridge in the U.S., and it’s a sight to see. If you’re feeling brave, try the Bridge Walk, where you’ll be harnessed up and walking a catwalk under the bridge. It’s 876 feet of pure adrenaline with the New River roaring below.
5. Grab a Bite in Fayetteville
After a day of trail-blasting and river-running, you’re going to need some serious fuel. Cathedral Café is the go-to for hearty meals and killer coffee, and Pies & Pints serves up some of the best pizza and craft beer in town. If you’re in the mood for a burger, hit up The Burrito Bar for mountain views and live music.
