There are still a few rhodos hanging on... and the mountain laurel is going off!

Hello, June! Catch the rhododendrons in full bloom along trails in the Gorge while you still can. 🌸

Granted, we're a little bit biased... but yeah. This.

⛰️ THE ALMOST HEAVEN SANDWICH TOUR: Stop 1 – The New River Gorge! ⛰️

If West Virginia’s most famous national park were a sandwich, it would undoubtedly be our Hickory Smoked Pork BBQ.

Why? Because it’s a rugged, smoky classic that never goes out of style. The rich, slow-cooked hickory pork represents our deep Appalachian roots, while the rush of flavor from our fresh, homemade creamy coleslaw is like whitewater rafting down the Lower New River!

Grab a side of kettle chips and take your tastebuds on an adventure today.

📍 Drop by 405 Capitol Street for lunch! Or visit us at Swiftwater General Store New River to grab this classic before you hit the water.

👉 Which WV landmark should we map our menu to next? Let us know below!
