On the way from Charleston, West Virginia, to Lewisburg, I stopped at this location to take in the scenery of this beautiful lake.

Then I stopped at New River Gorge Bridge Overlook

The New River Gorge Bridge is a massive steel arch bridge in southern West Virginia that spans a deep gorge of the New River, famous for its impressive height and engineering, scenic views, and as a centerpiece for activities like Bridge Day, when visitors can walk across and watch BASE jumping.

The New River Gorge Bridge is 3,030 feet (924 meters) long and rises about 876 feet (267 meters) above the New River.
