Championship Golf Courses
Glade Springs boasts three of the top five ranked golf courses in West Virginia: Cobb, Stonehaven, and Woodhaven!

Equestrian Center
The Equestrian Center at Glade Springs is the area’s premiere equestrian facility serving Southern West Virginia year-round. You can spend 45 minutes to 3 hours exploring the miles of trails and enjoying the scenic beauty of the resort. Carriage rides are also available along with pony rides, which is a highly popular activity for children.

Whitewater Rafting
Whitewater rafting at its best. With a guide in every raft on the Lower New River, instructions are provided to help ready you for what's to come on this section of class I through V white water (on a scale of I to VI). As you continue downstream, the character of the New River Gorge changes; the river narrows, house-size boulders are strewn in and along the river, and the canyon walls squeeze in on you just a little bit. While enjoying a deli-style, riverside lunch you have the chance to mingle with other folks or simply marvel at the beauty around you.
The Upper New River is a mild stretch of white water - this is a great place for families to “get their feet wet” in the world of white water rafting. The Upper New River has rapids of Class I through III (on a scale of I to VI) which means the white water rapids are on the mild side - no 14' waterfalls - just gentle and playful waves, with plenty of calm water in between permitting you a chance to enjoy what's around you. The scenery on the Upper New is majestic.
Tree Top Canopy Tour
This half day adventure includes 10 zip-lines, 5 sky bridges, 1 rappel, and 3 short hikes. You'll spend 3 1/2 hours in the old growth hemlock and hardwoods forest of pristine Mill Creek Canyon, immediately adjacent to the awe-inspiring New River Gorge.
You’ll start out with a short hike to the beginning of the course where you'll learn how to travel on a zip-line. You'll do a short orientation zip-line that is only a few feet off the ground. This is a great way to experience what the full course will be like. After that, you’re off to sky-bridges, zip-lines, and hikes across Mill Creek Gorge, adjacent to the New River Gorge. You will end your adventure with a rappel down from the final platform! A short shuttle brings you back to the Tree Tops base camp.
