Join Community Captain Leah for a hike at Long Point! This hike will incorporate trail data collection information that Active SWV in partnership with New River Gorge National Park and Preserve have been working to collect. There will be hiking poles available for walking assistance, if needed. The trail is accessible for the first 900-1000 feet to an observation deck overlooking a meadow with wildlife viewing opportunities. Please fill out this form to help us ascertain any special accommodations: Adaptive Participant Info All hikes are made possible through Get Active In The Park, a partnership between Active SWV and the National Park Service. Get Active in the Park activities are perfect for grand-families, groups with multiple interests, and individuals. All are welcome! Youth are encouraged to attend but must be accompanied by a guardian and the adult must stay on site during the activity. Get Active in the Park is an innovative partnership between the National Park Service and Active Southern West Virginia. Trained Community Captains deliver free, beginner-level instructional programs to the New River Gorge region. Get Active in the Park empowers our community to see outdoor spaces as a place for health and wellness to take place. • Have you been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19? • Are you experiencing a cough, shortness of breath, or sore throat? • Have you had a fever in the last 48 hours? • Have you had new loss of taste or smell? • Have you had vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours Regarding Community Captain Programs and groups of children: All Active SWV Community Captain programs are family friendly; children are invited to attend with the expectation of a parent/guardian ratio of 1 guardian adult to 5 children. It is our expectation for larger groups of children (e.g. Scouts, youth groups, etc), that an adult to child ratio of 1 adult to 5 children be observed in ages 5 and under, and 1 adult to 10 children be observed for ages 5 and above. *This hike will occur weather permitting! Please be aware if road conditions are bad, there will be no hike due to limited maintenance for Fayette Station Road. Please complete Active SWV FREE membership prior to the program.
