Access Issue: NO DRONES ON NATIONAL PARKLANDS Details

All of the crags within the New River Gorge proper are on national parklands, and drone use is prohibited here. There has been some discussion about places to launch drones that are not on park property, and then flying them over the gorge. This is super poor form; don't do it. Park regulations prohibit all drone use over the boundaries without a permit.

Description

All day sun and has lots of shorter climbs so that a lot can be done in a day.

Getting There

15 - 20 minute approach. Park at the main area and take the Canyon Rim Trail to Access Gully 1.
