FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
A professional forester has managed the property for many years. Management goals include timber, wildlife, recreation, and water. About twenty years ago, the forester prepared a timber harvest plan that included thinning the larger trees, allowing the residual trees a chance to become healthier and grow faster. The selective thinning created stands of differing age classes. The predominant timber stand consists of trees aged between 30 and 140 years, with diameters ranging in size of 10 to 30 inches at breast height (dbh).
The abundant timber resource is well positioned for value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor.
The forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods. This timber resource offers a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue that could be leveraged to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. The capital timber value of the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time.
The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Black Cherry, and a host of associated species (Birch, Sourwood, Black Gum, and Beech), enhancing the forests overall appeal and value.
Forest-wide, most stands are well stocked, offering the next ownership great flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered good.
Diameters are well represented across the commercial spectrum, with a notable mature size class, abundant pole-size timber, and growing stock. Several "Heritage Trees" are scattered throughout the forest and old field edges. These ancient trees, some of which are 200-300 years old, have withstood the test of time, weathering ice, wind, lightning strikes, and fire.
The forest is healthy, with no signs of Gypsy Moth pest infestation. However, the Emerald Ash Borer, which has inundated the entire Northeast US is present, and the Ash component is expected to decline significantly over the next decade. Additionally, the Eastern Hemlock species is under siege by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, which has led to a substantial decrease in hemlock populations. Fortunately, there have been no forest fires in recent memory.
The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns, and cool green mosses.
The area is conducive for beekeeping as honeybees thrive well here. Also, the sugar and red maple trees growing on the property present the potential for producing maple syrup.
AREA WILDLIFE
White tail deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, bobcat, fox, chipmunk, and many species of songbirds and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.
Of equal importance, there is the insect and microscopic world including butterflies, dragonflies, water skaters, water beetles, damselflies, hellgrammites, tadpoles and various insect larvae.
Great fishing is found in the areas lakes and rivers with small and large mouth bass, crappie, catfish, muskie, walleye, pike and bluegill present in good numbers.
The hardwood forest of the surrounding mountains provides the essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mast including acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts and black walnuts. Soft mast includes stag horn sumac, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries and blackberries.
WATER
There are the beginnings of 4 separate dashed blueline streams on the property for a total of about 1 mile of combined flow distances inside the property before they leave to flow into larger streams. Those intermittent streams should have periodic water flow, especially during rain events and periods of snow melt.

CLIMATE
The New River Gorge area sustains a microclimate more typical of warmer and more southerly latitudes, due partly to the sheltering nature of its valley. Though the river may appear a cool mountain stream, by the time it reaches the gorge it has already traveled more than 300 miles from the summits of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and has heated over that distance. As its warm microclimate accommodates a longer growing season. Mean annual precipitation at the property is estimated at 37 to 47 inches, mean annual air temperature at 50 to 52 degrees, and its frost-free period at 140 to 170 days.

CLIMATE
The New River Gorge area sustains a microclimate more typical of warmer and more southerly latitudes, due partly to the sheltering nature of its valley. Though the river may appear a cool mountain stream, by the time it reaches the gorge it has already traveled more than 300 miles from the summits of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and has heated over that distance. As its warm microclimate accommodates a longer growing season. Mean annual precipitation at the property is estimated at 37 to 47 inches, mean annual air temperature at 50 to 52 degrees, and its frost-free period at 140 to 170 days.

FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
A professional forester has managed the property for many years. Management goals include timber, wildlife, recreation, and water. About twenty years ago, the forester prepared a timber harvest plan that included thinning the larger trees, allowing the residual trees a chance to become healthier and grow faster. The selective thinning created stands of differing age classes. The predominant timber stand consists of trees aged between 30 and 140 years, with diameters ranging in size of 10 to 30 inches at breast height (dbh).
The abundant timber resource is well positioned for value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor.
The forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods. This timber resource offers a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue that could be leveraged to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. The capital timber value of the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time.
The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Black Cherry, and a host of associated species (Birch, Sourwood, Black Gum, and Beech), enhancing the forests overall appeal and value.
Forest-wide, most stands are well stocked, offering the next ownership great flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered good.
Diameters are well represented across the commercial spectrum, with a notable mature size class, abundant pole-size timber, and growing stock. Several "Heritage Trees" are scattered throughout the forest and old field edges. These ancient trees, some of which are 200-300 years old, have withstood the test of time, weathering ice, wind, lightning strikes, and fire.
The forest is healthy, with no signs of Gypsy Moth pest infestation. However, the Emerald Ash Borer, which has inundated the entire Northeast US is present, and the Ash component is expected to decline significantly over the next decade. Additionally, the Eastern Hemlock species is under siege by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, which has led to a substantial decrease in hemlock populations. Fortunately, there have been no forest fires in recent memory.
The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns, and cool green mosses.
The area is conducive for beekeeping as honeybees thrive well here. Also, the sugar and red maple trees growing on the property present the potential for producing maple syrup.
AREA WILDLIFE
White tail deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, bobcat, fox, chipmunk, and many species of songbirds and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.

FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
A professional forester has managed the property for many years. Management goals include timber, wildlife, recreation, and water. About twenty years ago, the forester prepared a timber harvest plan that included thinning the larger trees, allowing the residual trees a chance to become healthier and grow faster. The selective thinning created stands of differing age classes. The predominant timber stand consists of trees aged between 30 and 140 years, with diameters ranging in size of 10 to 30 inches at breast height (dbh).
The abundant timber resource is well positioned for value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor.
The forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods. This timber resource offers a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue that could be leveraged to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. The capital timber value of the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time.
The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Black Cherry, and a host of associated species (Birch, Sourwood, Black Gum, and Beech), enhancing the forests overall appeal and value.
Forest-wide, most stands are well stocked, offering the next ownership great flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered good.
Diameters are well represented across the commercial spectrum, with a notable mature size class, abundant pole-size timber, and growing stock. Several "Heritage Trees" are scattered throughout the forest and old field edges. These ancient trees, some of which are 200-300 years old, have withstood the test of time, weathering ice, wind, lightning strikes, and fire.
The forest is healthy, with no signs of Gypsy Moth pest infestation. However, the Emerald Ash Borer, which has inundated the entire Northeast US is present, and the Ash component is expected to decline significantly over the next decade. Additionally, the Eastern Hemlock species is under siege by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, which has led to a substantial decrease in hemlock populations. Fortunately, there have been no forest fires in recent memory.
The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns, and cool green mosses.
The area is conducive for beekeeping as honeybees thrive well here. Also, the sugar and red maple trees growing on the property present the potential for producing maple syrup.
AREA WILDLIFE
White tail deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, bobcat, fox, chipmunk, and many species of songbirds and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.
Of equal importance, there is the insect and microscopic world including butterflies, dragonflies, water skaters, water beetles, damselflies, hellgrammites, tadpoles and various insect larvae.
Great fishing is found in the areas lakes and rivers with small and large mouth bass, crappie, catfish, muskie, walleye, pike and bluegill present in good numbers.
The hardwood forest of the surrounding mountains provides the essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mast including acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts and black walnuts. Soft mast includes stag horn sumac, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries and blackberries.
WATER
There are the beginnings of 4 separate dashed blueline streams on the property for a total of about 1 mile of combined flow distances inside the property before they leave to flow into larger streams. Those intermittent streams should have periodic water flow, especially during rain events and periods of snow melt.

CLIMATE
The New River Gorge area sustains a microclimate more typical of warmer and more southerly latitudes, due partly to the sheltering nature of its valley. Though the river may appear a cool mountain stream, by the time it reaches the gorge it has already traveled more than 300 miles from the summits of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and has heated over that distance. As its warm microclimate accommodates a longer growing season. Mean annual precipitation at the property is estimated at 37 to 47 inches, mean annual air temperature at 50 to 52 degrees, and its frost-free period at 140 to 170 days.
ON-PROPERTY RECREATIONAL AMENITIES
Nature viewing is next in line of recreational activities. Wildlife viewing is not just for larger animals. Equal consideration is given to a diversity of species including neo-tropical songbirds, butterflies, turtles, frogs, rabbits, chipmunks, dragonflies, owls, eagles and hawks. White tail deer, black bear, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, grouse, geese, squirrel, raccoon, fox and rabbit make up the resident wildlife population.
Stargazing-Planet Observation

CLIMATE
The New River Gorge area sustains a microclimate more typical of warmer and more southerly latitudes, due partly to the sheltering nature of its valley. Though the river may appear a cool mountain stream, by the time it reaches the gorge it has already traveled more than 300 miles from the summits of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and has heated over that distance. As its warm microclimate accommodates a longer growing season. Mean annual precipitation at the property is estimated at 37 to 47 inches, mean annual air temperature at 50 to 52 degrees, and its frost-free period at 140 to 170 days.
ON-PROPERTY RECREATIONAL AMENITIES

FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
A professional forester has managed the property for many years. Management goals include timber, wildlife, recreation, and water. About twenty years ago, the forester prepared a timber harvest plan that included thinning the larger trees, allowing the residual trees a chance to become healthier and grow faster. The selective thinning created stands of differing age classes. The predominant timber stand consists of trees aged between 30 and 140 years, with diameters ranging in size of 10 to 30 inches at breast height (dbh).
The abundant timber resource is well positioned for value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor.
The forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods. This timber resource offers a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue that could be leveraged to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. The capital timber value of the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time.
The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Black Cherry, and a host of associated species (Birch, Sourwood, Black Gum, and Beech), enhancing the forests overall appeal and value.
Forest-wide, most stands are well stocked, offering the next ownership great flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered good.
Diameters are well represented across the commercial spectrum, with a notable mature size class, abundant pole-size timber, and growing stock. Several "Heritage Trees" are scattered throughout the forest and old field edges. These ancient trees, some of which are 200-300 years old, have withstood the test of time, weathering ice, wind, lightning strikes, and fire.
The forest is healthy, with no signs of Gypsy Moth pest infestation. However, the Emerald Ash Borer, which has inundated the entire Northeast US is present, and the Ash component is expected to decline significantly over the next decade. Additionally, the Eastern Hemlock species is under siege by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, which has led to a substantial decrease in hemlock populations. Fortunately, there have been no forest fires in recent memory.
The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns, and cool green mosses.
The area is conducive for beekeeping as honeybees thrive well here. Also, the sugar and red maple trees growing on the property present the potential for producing maple syrup.
AREA WILDLIFE
White tail deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, bobcat, fox, chipmunk, and many species of songbirds and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.
Of equal importance, there is the insect and microscopic world including butterflies, dragonflies, water skaters, water beetles, damselflies, hellgrammites, tadpoles and various insect larvae.
Great fishing is found in the areas lakes and rivers with small and large mouth bass, crappie, catfish, muskie, walleye, pike and bluegill present in good numbers.
The hardwood forest of the surrounding mountains provides the essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mast including acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts and black walnuts. Soft mast includes stag horn sumac, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries and blackberries.
WATER
There are the beginnings of 4 separate dashed blueline streams on the property for a total of about 1 mile of combined flow distances inside the property before they leave to flow into larger streams. Those intermittent streams should have periodic water flow, especially during rain events and periods of snow melt.

FOUR SEASON CLIMATE
The New River Gorge area sustains a microclimate more typical of warmer and more southerly latitudes, due partly to the sheltering nature of its valley. Though the river may appear a cool mountain stream, by the time it reaches the gorge it has already traveled more than 300 miles from the summits of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and has heated over that distance. As its warm microclimate accommodates a longer growing season. Mean annual precipitation in the area is estimated at 37 to 47 inches, mean annual air temperature at 50 to 52 degrees, and its frost-free period at 140 to 170 days.

SURROUNDING AREA
Roaring River is centrally located in one of the most popular outdoor recreation destinations in the U.S. More than three million visitors tour the region annually, climbing rocks, paddling streams, hiking, biking, and running on miles of scenic trails. Interestingly, the Boy Scouts of America established its National Jamboree site here because of its unparalleled access to world-class outdoor recreation. In the winter, the area attracts another clientele - skiers bound for the slopes at Winterplace, a drive of 40 minutes to the south, and Snowshoe Mountain, a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the northeast.
Additionally, the Roaring River location benefits from its proximity to Adventures on the Gorge, one of the most popular outdoor adventure resorts in the U.S. As a pioneer in the whitewater rafting industry, the resort has played a crucial role in driving high-end economic development in the region, making it a hotspot for adventure seekers.
Roaring River also enjoys more than its share of singular shops, pubs, and restaurants, many of which cluster around Fayetteville, a five-minute drive from the property. For even more exceptional eateries and retail destinations, you can explore in just an hours drive the west of the state capitol at Charleston, and an hour the east historical Lewisburg, which, according to the National Geographic Magazine, is ranked one of the most livable small towns in the U.S.
The region is perhaps best known as one of the most popular rock-climbing destinations in the world. Thousands of climbers annually scale the more than 60 miles cliff on the gorges of the New, Gauley, and Meadow rivers. Outside Magazine rated the New River Gorge the third most popular climbing area in the U.S. in 2019. It includes some of the most attractive sports climbs in the Western Hemisphere. Notably, the American Alpine Club maintains an ecologically integrated campground for climbers less than a mile from the frontage.
In recent years, the region has also witnessed a rise in the number of hikers, paddlers, and bicyclists attracted to its limitless recreative landscape. USA Today, in 2015, named the Endless Wall Trail - a drive of only 20 minutes from the property - the best hiking trail in the U.S. national park system. Whitewater rafting has long been a mainstay of tourism on the New and Gauley Rivers, though kayaking has grown tremendously throughout West Virginia, outpacing the growth of the pastime nationally.
The region is also renowned as a paradise for golfers, boasting more than a score of courses within just an hours drive. This includes three at the famous Greenbrier, which sometimes hosted both the PGA and LIV tour and three at nearby Glade Springs Resort. Also, the Oakhurst Links, the first course in the U.S., is just over an hours drive.
Accessing the area is easy. The US-19 expressway travels through the heart of the region, and Interstates 77 and 64 area are only a half-hour drive by expressway to the south at Beckley. Interstate 79 is a 45-minute drive by expressway to the north. The state capital, Charleston, is an hours drive west and accessible by several routes.

Roaring River's Forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods and native Eastern Hemlock. This timber resource has the potential to provide flexibility for future owners in terms of opportunities for harvest revenue that could be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. Although Capital Timber Value for the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time, the potential is glaring.

SURROUNDING AREA
Roaring River is centrally located in one of the most popular outdoor recreation destinations in the U.S. More than three million visitors tour the region annually, climbing rocks, paddling streams, hiking, biking, and running on miles of scenic trails. Interestingly, the Boy Scouts of America established its National Jamboree site here because of its unparalleled access to world-class outdoor recreation. In the winter, the area attracts another clientele - skiers bound for the slopes at Winterplace, a drive of 40 minutes to the south, and Snowshoe Mountain, a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the northeast.
Additionally, the Roaring River location benefits from its proximity to Adventures on the Gorge, one of the most popular outdoor adventure resorts in the U.S. As a pioneer in the whitewater rafting industry, the resort has played a crucial role in driving high-end economic development in the region, making it a hotspot for adventure seekers.
Roaring River also enjoys more than its share of singular shops, pubs, and restaurants, many of which cluster around Fayetteville, a five-minute drive from the property. For even more exceptional eateries and retail destinations, you can explore in just an hours drive the west of the state capitol at Charleston, and an hour the east historical Lewisburg, which, according to the National Geographic Magazine, is ranked one of the most livable small towns in the U.S.
The region is perhaps best known as one of the most popular rock-climbing destinations in the world. Thousands of climbers annually scale the more than 60 miles cliff on the gorges of the New, Gauley, and Meadow rivers. Outside Magazine rated the New River Gorge the third most popular climbing area in the U.S. in 2019. It includes some of the most attractive sports climbs in the Western Hemisphere. Notably, the American Alpine Club maintains an ecologically integrated campground for climbers less than a mile from the frontage.
In recent years, the region has also witnessed a rise in the number of hikers, paddlers, and bicyclists attracted to its limitless recreative landscape. USA Today, in 2015, named the Endless Wall Trail - a drive of only 20 minutes from the property - the best hiking trail in the U.S. national park system. Whitewater rafting has long been a mainstay of tourism on the New and Gauley Rivers, though kayaking has grown tremendously throughout West Virginia, outpacing the growth of the pastime nationally.
The region is also renowned as a paradise for golfers, boasting more than a score of courses within just an hours drive. This includes three at the famous Greenbrier, which sometimes hosted both the PGA and LIV tour and three at nearby Glade Springs Resort. Also, the Oakhurst Links, the first course in the U.S., is just over an hours drive.
Accessing the area is easy. The US-19 expressway travels through the heart of the region, and Interstates 77 and 64 area are only a half-hour drive by expressway to the south at Beckley. Interstate 79 is a 45-minute drive by expressway to the north. The state capital, Charleston, is an hours drive west and accessible by several routes.
For train travel, the Amtrak passenger stations on the Chicago-New York route are located half an hour to the south near Beckley and an hours drive east and west at Charleston and White Sulphur Springs.
Public airports that offer jet service are located 40 minutes to the south at Beckley and an hour west and east at Charleston and Lewisburg. For smaller aircraft, local airfields within a five-minute drive from the property accommodate small and private planes, providing options and convenient access for all types of travel.
RECREATION
Residency in the New River Gorge region offers access to a seemingly limitless variety of recreational pursuits. Its parks invite hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, paddling, rock climbing, ziplining, and whitewater rafting. The area accommodates several walking and field sports facilities, including stadiums, playgrounds, and walking and biking trails. The winter months are not let out - Winterplace is an hour's drive south, offering skiing and snow-tubing.

FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
The abundant timber resource, consisting of about 785 acres, is well positioned for current timber income and value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive mix of species, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong value component for investors.
Roaring River's Forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods and native Eastern Hemlock. This timber resource has the potential to provide flexibility for future owners in terms of opportunities for harvest revenue that could be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation. Although Capital Timber Value for the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time, the potential is glaring.

Overall, the species composition is highly desirable, favoring Appalachian hardwood types like Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Beech, and a host of associated species (ash, hemlock, birch, sourwood, black gum, beech).
The forest at Roaring Rivers is fully stocked, providing the next ownership with a great deal of flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Across the property, stem quality can be considered excellent, and the timber component has been well managed over the years, consisting of stands of varying age classes. Most timber stand ranges from 30 to 140 years old stems, with diameters between 10 and 40 inches at breast height (dbh).

SURROUNDING AREA
Roaring River is centrally located in one of the most popular outdoor recreation destinations in the U.S. More than three million visitors tour the region annually, climbing rocks, paddling streams, hiking, biking, and running on miles of scenic trails. Interestingly, the Boy Scouts of America established its National Jamboree site here because of its unparalleled access to world-class outdoor recreation. In the winter, the area attracts another clientele - skiers bound for the slopes at Winterplace, a drive of 40 minutes to the south, and Snowshoe Mountain, a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the northeast.
Additionally, the Roaring River location benefits from its proximity to Adventures on the Gorge, one of the most popular outdoor adventure resorts in the U.S. As a pioneer in the whitewater rafting industry, the resort has played a crucial role in driving high-end economic development in the region, making it a hotspot for adventure seekers.
Roaring River also enjoys more than its share of singular shops, pubs, and restaurants, many of which cluster around Fayetteville, a five-minute drive from the property. For even more exceptional eateries and retail destinations, you can explore in just an hours drive the west of the state capitol at Charleston, and an hour the east historical Lewisburg, which, according to the National Geographic Magazine, is ranked one of the most livable small towns in the U.S.
The region is perhaps best known as one of the most popular rock-climbing destinations in the world. Thousands of climbers annually scale the more than 60 miles cliff on the gorges of the New, Gauley, and Meadow rivers. Outside Magazine rated the New River Gorge the third most popular climbing area in the U.S. in 2019. It includes some of the most attractive sports climbs in the Western Hemisphere. Notably, the American Alpine Club maintains an ecologically integrated campground for climbers less than a mile from the frontage.
In recent years, the region has also witnessed a rise in the number of hikers, paddlers, and bicyclists attracted to its limitless recreative landscape. USA Today, in 2015, named the Endless Wall Trail - a drive of only 20 minutes from the property - the best hiking trail in the U.S. national park system. Whitewater rafting has long been a mainstay of tourism on the New and Gauley Rivers, though kayaking has grown tremendously throughout West Virginia, outpacing the growth of the pastime nationally.
The region is also renowned as a paradise for golfers, boasting more than a score of courses within just an hours drive. This includes three at the famous Greenbrier, which sometimes hosted both the PGA and LIV tour and three at nearby Glade Springs Resort. Also, the Oakhurst Links, the first course in the U.S., is just over an hours drive.
Accessing the area is easy. The US-19 expressway travels through the heart of the region, and Interstates 77 and 64 area are only a half-hour drive by expressway to the south at Beckley. Interstate 79 is a 45-minute drive by expressway to the north. The state capital, Charleston, is an hours drive west and accessible by several routes.
For train travel, the Amtrak passenger stations on the Chicago-New York route are located half an hour to the south near Beckley and an hours drive east and west at Charleston and White Sulphur Springs.
Public airports that offer jet service are located 40 minutes to the south at Beckley and an hour west and east at Charleston and Lewisburg. For smaller aircraft, local airfields within a five-minute drive from the property accommodate small and private planes, providing options and convenient access for all types of travel.
RECREATION
Residency in the New River Gorge region offers access to a seemingly limitless variety of recreational pursuits. Its parks invite hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, paddling, rock climbing, ziplining, and whitewater rafting. The area accommodates several walking and field sports facilities, including stadiums, playgrounds, and walking and biking trails. The winter months are not let out - Winterplace is an hour's drive south, offering skiing and snow-tubing.

FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
The abundant timber resource, consisting of about 785 acres, is well positioned for current timber income and value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive mix of species, adequate stocking levels, and favorable diameter class distribution, the timber amenity represents a strong value component for investors.
Roaring River's Forest resource is rich in quality Appalachian hardwoods and native Eastern Hemlock. This timber resource has the potential to provide flexibility for future owners in terms of opportunities for harvest revenue that could be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding costs and contribute to long-term asset appreciation.
