Conley Hill Road , Gauley Bridge, WV 25085(Fayette County)

Ascending from the floor of the valley along US-60, the hill is as scenic at a distance as it is near-at-hand. It includes densely forested areas of steep and level land suited for unique home, cabin, and camp sites with views of the lake and the entrance to the gorge. A gravel road ascends onto a first tier of potential building sites then climbs steeply to the crest of the mountain. It doubles as an access to a cellular communications tower and the towns water tanks. A water line along the lower property provides convenient public water access.

Conley Hill is located near the center of a world-renowned destination for outdoor recreation, famed for its hiking, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. The cliffs that line the rim of gorge are part of one of the largest climbing destinations in the U.S., while whitewater rafting has been a chief adventure pursuit on the New and Gauley rivers for more than half a century, attracting hundreds of thousands of rafters annually. All have enjoyed an increase in popularity since the new national park was established.
