Brooks Overlook - New River Gorge National Park and Preserve


Five miles south of the Sandstone Visitor Center on WV-20 is the Brooks Overlook of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Located nearly 500 feet above the river, the overlook is just a wide spot in the road long enough for about four or five vehicles to parallel park.
