We LOVED the tour given by Corey. He really knows the backroads and history of the area. He was such a genuinely interesting person; we felt we learned as much about the folks who live there as we did about the environs. Back "at the ranch", we felt the hospitality often attributed to West Virginians. Thanks for making our experience unique and oh so much fun!

Best tour ever! Cory was our guide and took us on the craziest, twistiest, mountain roads. He gave us a little history of the area as well, but didn't bore us with constant chatter (but would answer any questions we had!) We went on Easter afternoon and there were even easter baskets in the jeep for our girls. Everyone in the family loved it!

My husband and I spent an afternoon last June on the Jeep Tour operated by New River ATV. Our very friendly and knowledgeable guides, Emma and Brandon, did a great job of narrating our tour with interesting facts about wildlife and history of the area as we drove through areas of the New River National Park we wouldn’t have been able to access on our own. The tour included stops at a variety of points of interest including historic Thurmond, a breathtaking mountain top overlook, beautiful waterfalls, old coke ovens, and much more. We drove mostly on jeep roads which offered some beautiful river and gorge views as well as a few fun and exciting obstacles to navigate. New River ATV has very comfortable and well-maintained vehicles and top-notch guides. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to experience the beauty and history of the area on back roads limited to 4WD vehicles.

Be prepared to be in a Jeep for 95% of the time off road and not really on New River Gorge trails, but on backwoods.
