Spring Flowers At New River Gorge
Mar 31, 2022 14:31:37 #
We spent a few days at New River Gorge last fall. We have the idea that it might be really nice if we could catch the laurel etc. and other spring flowers in bloom. Can anyone tell me what the most likely time would be to catch the spring bloom? We live in Michigan.

Thanks for the link but I had already looked at that but didn't get anything current or specific from it.

Anything about the New River Gorge is photographic material!! I would just make the trip. I lived 20 miles from there for several years and have lots of pics from the gorge, bridge (on it and under) and national park area.

I hope while you are there that you consider a Whitewater raft trip. I guided for several companies while in college and later when I taught high school. Back then I was shooting film and felt I never could afford enough to shoot. You could spend a week and never get in everything you want to shoot. End of April and first part of May are good times to see flora and fauna. Rhododendrons are blooming and fragrant.

This is precisely the info I am looking for. Thanks DaveD65 and to all who replied.
