CONLEY HILL OVERLOOKING THE MOUTH OF THE NEW RIVER

Overlooking one of the best-known scenic landscapes in West Virginia, historic Conley Hill rises above the mouth of the New River just downstream of the newly-established New River Gorge National Park & Preserve. Above the point at which the New and Gauley rivers join to form the Kanawha River, a shimmering lake collects here before plunging over river-wide falls. Ascending from the floor of the valley along US-60, the hill is as scenic at a distance as it is near-at-hand. It includes densely forested areas of steep and level land suited for a unique home, cabin, and campsites with views of the lake and the entrance to the gorge. A gravel road ascends onto the first tier of potential building sites and then climbs steeply to the crest of the mountain. It doubles as access to a cellular communications tower and the town's water tanks. A water line along the lower property provides convenient public water access. Conley Hill is located near the center of a world-renowned destination for outdoor recreation, famed for its hiking, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. The cliffs that line the rim of the gorge are part of one of the largest climbing destinations in the U.S., while whitewater rafting has been a chief adventure pursuit on the New and Gauley rivers for more than half a century, attracting hundreds of thousands of rafters annually. All have enjoyed an increase in popularity since the new national park was established.
