We rented 4 kayaks for a two hour float down the river. We had two very nice employees help us get sized for life vests and drove us to the drop off spot. The float itself was relaxing and easy. … Full review by 958KimD

Hi, I'll be in the area in a week or so. Is the trail suitable for road bikes? I realize it's not paved, and I've ridden my road bike on plenty of crushed stone trails that were just fine for me. It depends on the surface, how fine the crushed stone and how well it's covered. Thanks!

There are shuttles. Call the New River State Park. They run shuttles from there in-season. We went in April, prior to season and they connected us with a local bike and canoe outfitter.

We also got our canoe shuttled and did a paddle back to camp. I believe we used New River Outdoor Adventures.
