Similar to the New River Gorge, The Meadow River offers climbing on both sides of the river. The cliffs are not as spread out as in the New River Gorge but also offer climbing on tall rock.
The Meadow River is located about halfway between Fayetteville and Summersville Lake. The area is split in the crags upstream from highway 19 (right on your way to Summersville Lake) called Upper Meadow and downstream of highway 19 (left) called Lower Meadow - both on the right side of the river. On the left side of the river, both upstream and downstream you find the so-called Southside Crags.
Most cliffs allow easy access to the river which allows for a refreshing bath on hot summerdays.
Please check the access description at the individual crags as they vary quite a bit depending on which of the areas you are aiming for.
The land ownership at Meadow River varies a lot, from private land to National Recreation Area land, please behave accordingly and leave no trace!
