New River Gorge National River...

The famous New River Bridge

...West Virginia, one of the oldest rivers in North America, here..
protected for the people, let's give out a cheer,
all this could have been lost, or to rubble reduced,
but now it's preserved for us, the feds have been goosed.

That bridge up there on the state quarter for sure,
used in ads, bungee jumping, and a whole lot more,
it doesn't outshine the river itself,
there is a whole lot to do on this beautiful shelf.

Bluestone National Scenic River...

All for you

...it's in West Virginia, where there are still hills, with the tops left on,
the preserve makes sure that some stay intact, before the coal companies make them gone;
enough of my "sermon", let's enjoy the view,
this park is here to be enjoyed by you.

It bends around hills, in a graceful swing,
and some of the fish, could make you "king";
come to visit, bring you best tent,
when you're done, you'll be glad you went.

There are some rapids
