Most companies also provide lunch on the river the day of the rafting trip. Mountain bikers know West Virginia as the Colorado of the East. The nearby Summersville Lake provides easy to moderate hiking trails for just about anyone willing to pull on a pair of boots and swing a pack over their shoulder. The Battle Run Trail winds softly for six miles along the banks of the lake past its pristine blue waters and towering sandstone cliffs. Fishing is popular in The New River Gorge as well.
Camping is the cheaper alternative.
With shower facilities and a toilet, the camp is located right next to the Cunard-Kaymore trailhead. Most of its clientele are rock climbers. Chestnut Creek Campground, located on Lansing Road, has full facilities but is a little farther from all of the action. Go to the shore, hang out on the beach and live up the night life. But hit the beach now since the weather is good and take advantage of the low off-season rates while you still can.
