CANYON WOODS is a large recreational, timber, hunting, and long-term investment property, located in the heart of West Virginia's most popular tourism and outdoor recreation area. With more than 2,700 undeveloped acres, the tract is one of largest single properties in this part of the state. More importantly, the property has more than five miles of common boundary with the 70,000-acre New River Gorge National River, a unit of the National Park Service.
CANYON WOODS lies along the rim of the 1,000-foot deep New River Gorge, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of the East. Yet practically all of the property is usable land due to its relatively gentle rolling topography at an elevation of roughly 1900 to 2200 feet above sea level.

As one might expect given its location along the Gorge, there are numerous areas with spectacular gorge and long-distant views. That unique amenity, along with the tract's close proximity to a national park, contributed to the property being formerly considered for an upscale residential community of several hundred homesites.
Today the tract is mostly wooded. There are a number of small perennial streams scattered about the property, some small wetlands and beaver ponds, and miles of old logging and ATV trails. Not surprisingly, it abounds with wildlife.
CANYON WOODS is a large contiguous parcel. It adjoins a huge national park, has extensive amounts of usable terrain, and enjoys close access to some of the best outdoor recreation opportunities in eastern North America. It is rugged and wild, yet close to municipal services, 4-lane highways, and airports.
