climbing, mountain biking, and
horseback-riding programs to be as equally
rewarding. While you're here, stay in our
campgrounds or deluxe cabins with private
hot tubs. Families with young children will

Hico, WV

For more than 30 years we've hosted incomparable
tours of West Virginia's whitewater rivers,
inspections of diverse wildlife, vegetation, and
beautiful scenery -- the backdrop for a
100-percent natural experience. Since then, we've
found that West Virginia can't be outdone when it
comes to having fun and spending quality time with
family and friends. Adventure Mountain
River guided rafting trips range from
leisurely float tours in the upper New River Gorge
to world-class whitewater on the Gauley River and
lower New. We provide cabins and campsites near
our base camp at the junction of U.S. 19 and the
Midland Trail Scenic Highway (U.S. 60). We're only
five-minutes north of historic Fayetteville and
the New River Gorge Bridge, near plenty of great
lodging, dining, shopping, and other outdoor
attractions.

Stables Horseback Riding |
1677 East Mount Lookout Road
Mount Lookout, WV 26678
Tel. 304-872-7984 or 304-872-1558
Our horseback tours are designed to provide novice and expert riders an unforgettable adventure in the Meadow River Gorge, the most remote of the four canyons under the protection of the National Park Service in southern West Virginia. Three-hour, seven-hour, and overnight tours are available year-round groups of eight and fewer members. Just a spectacular as the New River Gorge -- but much less crowded -- the Meadow River Gorge offers far more to see and do. Depending on your skill level and desires, we'll explore old railroad tunnels, visit forgotten historic sites, swim in crystal-clear pools, and wander through miles of hemlock forest and towering cliffs that few people have ever seen. We're a fifteen-minute drive north of the New River Gorge Bridge and south of Summersville Lake by the U.S. 19 expressway and can also arrange climbing, kayaking, and rafting adventures in conjunction with your adventure. Our three-bedroom guest house with hot tub is also available and convenient to local shopping and restaurants.

Water Stone Outdoors has been a center for
camping, paddling, and climbing in the gorge
since 1994. Quality gear and friendly advice

there, we know West Virginia, and we bring

to say we don't also carry lots of fun
street wear and frivolous stuff. We also

of climbing shoes, as well as sandals,
hiking boots, and approach shoes. Our
product mix includes only the best -- Petzl,
Prana, Golite, Patagonia, Five Ten, La

and surf their site before you make travel
plans.
