About
A state park that's 57 miles long—and skinny as a snake? That's the story of this park that crosses Grayson, Carroll, Wythe and Pulaski Counties.
Hop on your bike for a mostly flat ride that takes you along the banks of the New River for 39 miles. In the Foster Falls area, equestrians can enjoy guided horseback trips and a horse arena. All trails are beautifully maintained.
Stop to rent canoes, tubes or kayaks for drifting on the river, or take advantage of boat launches to get some fishing in. The historic Shot Tower, where ammunition was made 200 years ago, lets you explore the past. Watch for the periodic guided tours.
Four different primitive campgrounds welcome tent campers. Double Shoals Campground is first-come, first-

Four different primitive campgrounds welcome tent campers. Double Shoals Campground is first-come, first-served, but all the rest require reservations. Cliffview Campground has three equestrian spots.
For a unique experience, book your spot at Baker Island Campground—And get ready to do some paddling, since the only access is by kayak or canoe.
Wanna peace out for a night (or four)? A visit to Baker Island is a genuine “out there” escape. Located on an island on the New River, the campground is ONLY accessible by boat. Once there, you can pitch your tent at one of several designated sites. Be sure to bring your own drinking water and pack out your trash to help keep it wild!Read more...
Like the name suggests, Cliffview Campground offers some pretty awesome views. The 13-campsite campground overlooks the beautiful Chestnut Creek, so you’ll get some “oohs and ahhs” in. Plus, the campground reserves three campsites for equestrian campers and their four-legged friends. Just note that you’ll need to park your horse trailer a mile dow Read more...
Calling all river rats (and we mean that affectionately!): hunker down at Millrace Campground if you want easy access to the New River. The 12 primitive sites here overlook the swift-running river, and each site also has access to the New River Trail. A heads up: you’ll have to park a short distance away from the campground and hike in, so pack li Read more...
The name says it all: Double Shoals is a two-site campground on the banks of the New River. It’s one of several very primitive campgrounds along the New River Trail, with no drinking water or trash receptacles available. You can get there either on foot via the trail, or by boat along the river. It relies on an honor system and doesn’t take reserv Read more...
