The day is usually the first Sunday in November but I believe it was in October this year. This is located between Oak Hill and Beckley, WV on Route 19. The nearest town is Fayetteville or Fayette something. Good whitewater rafting too but I have never seen the jumps before. Maybe next year. Other facts: - largest ARCH bridge in the world. - located in New River Gorge National Park. bmasters@ucqais.uc.edu
