Water sports like standup paddle-boarding, flat-water kayaking, fishing and recreational boating can be enjoyed throughout the area, while the landscape also provides opportunities for leisurely road biking in the city and nearby Kanawha State Forest. But Charleston is also the gateway to all that is wild and wonderful in the Mountain State. World-class whitewater rafting, canopy tours, mountain climbing and biking are just an hour away in what many call the Colorado of the East: Southern West Virginia’s breathtaking New River Gorge. There, outfitters like River Expeditions and Adventures on the Gorge offer a full menu of outdoor pursuits, onsite dining and accommodations from rustic to refined. Already popular, the expanding Hatfield-McCoy Trails will soon provide more than 2,000 miles of off-highway vehicle trails just south of the Capital City.
