From improving river access points to supporting trail experiences, our projects help make these parks more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for everyone.
Connect People to the Parks
Supporting educational programs that inspire visitors to learn about and engage with these special places.
Protect Wildlife and Waterways

Where Needed Most
By giving to Friends of New River Gorge your tax deductible donation could provide citizen science experiences for local students, repair high-traffic trails, preserve history, and improve visitor experiences. Every bit helps - your park needs all the friends it can get.
Support Trail and Biking Experiences
We plan to install a bike maintenance station at the Arrowhead trailhead. This station will include a stand, pump, and basic tools for mountain bike enthusiasts to service their bikes. But we still need funding to make this happen! Contribute here to keep this project moving!
Improve River Access and Experience
Working in conjunction with the National Park Service, the Friends have installed and maintain hardened blowers at Summersville Dam on the Gauley River and Cunard on the New River for private users to inflate their craft. We are responsible for maintenance of these popular units. Contribute here to keep them blowing!
