Congress established the 70,000-acre park in 2020. The designation has resulted in a revolutionary interest in the region as a destination for travel and residency. Articles in Time, Vogue, and USA Today have accelerated interest in the area globally over the last two years, as has television coverage by major networks. Time has since named the park among the "World's 100 Greatest Places." Long a renowned destination for hiking, biking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting, the park attracts more than two million visitors annually. Officials had predicted an increase of more than 20 percent in visitation in its first year; however, the increase appeared to be nearer 70 percent as of October 2022. Park officials are proceeding with the development of the southern section of the park near Sandstone Falls as outlined in the park's 2011 Development Plan. Notably, backcountry trails are being built into the mountains to the north and south of the retreat. Copies of the 2011 Foundation Plan for the New River Gorge National Park are available through this listing agent.
