Sandstone Falls Overlook - New River Gorge National Park and Preserve


Continuing our October 2021 visit to New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, we drove 3.1 miles south of the Sandstone Visitor Center on County Road 7 and WV-20 to the Sandstone Falls Overlook. A gravel parking area on the right side of the road has room for at least five and possibly ten vehicles. A short path leads down to a stacked-stone retaining wall with views of Sandstone Falls on the New River. A couple of picnic tables and a possibly seasonally open pit-toilet complete the facilities.
