Kanawha Falls
Kanawha Falls WV

About 35 miles southeast of Charleston via US-60 and WV-16, across the river from Gauley Bridge is Kanawha Falls. Two miles west of Gauley Bridge is a bridge crossing the Kanwha River. After you cross it turn left and follow Kanawha Road to the Kanawha Falls Park, specially constructed for folks to enjoy the waterfalls and the Great Kanawha River.

The three most popular ways top reach Gauley Bridge are:

From Charleston just head east on US-60 (do NOT get on the WV Turnpike) and follow US-60 up the Kanawha River to Gauley Bridge.

From I-79, take exit 57 and follow US-19 south to US-60 (17 miles south of Summerville). Turn right and follow 60 west to Gauley Bridge.

From Beckley, take US-19 north, across the New River Bridge, to US-60 (about 26 miles; 28 if from I-77). Turn left onto US-60 and follow 60 west to Gauley Bridge.
