New River Gorge North Loop

9 hours

Easy

 

Discover the northern rim of New River Gorge National Park on this 150-mile guided adventure loop that blends scenic backroads, winding gravel, and forest trails through the heart of southern West Virginia. Designed for beginner to intermediate dual-sport and ADV riders, this full-day ride captures everything that makes Appalachia unforgettable — mountain views, river crossings, small-town charm, and rugged beauty at every turn.

Starting from our base in Meadow Creek, we head north through the Gorge corridor, visiting overlooks, historic mining towns, and forest roads few travelers ever see. Riders will cross the New River Gorge Bridge, explore remote ridge systems, and stop at several key scenic and cultural landmarks along the way.

This loop offers about 50% gravel and 50% pavement, making it the perfect balance for riders looking to practice ADV skills without the stress of extreme terrain. Each participant receives a GPX/KMZ route file after the tour, so you can relive the ride or explore it again on your own.
