Not sure if it still goes on, but they used to hold Base Jumping off that bridge on every 3rd Saturday of October.
It's held on Bridge day and people are allowed to walk on the bridge.

I know BASE jumping and bungee jumping are activities that still take place there but I’m not sure of how it is scheduled.

That is excellent, Joe, one of the best I’ve seen of the bridge.

Jill, I was in Morgantown WV for a few days before going to Fayetteville. Coopers Rock State Forest in Morgantown area was beautiful with great overlooks and hiking trails on both sides of the river. It really is a must see if you can. The National Park will keep you busy. It is a nice size Park, the distance between the two visitor centers, one north end of the Park and the other on the south end, is a fifty minute car ride. The visitor center has a great (free) Park trails map but I recommend the All Trails app for your phone.

Lansing is a great location for visiting the Park. This photo of the bridge structure was taken at a stop on the Lansing Loop Road. You are close to the Park’s Canyon Rim Visitors Center and some great hiking trails. Safe travels.

Great photos Joe. My wife and I were in the park in early April a few years ago and it’s a good time to photograph.
We were a little early as the ideal time is when the Dogwood and Red Buds are in bloom but I was happy with what I got. While one is in the area don’t miss the nearby Glade Creek Grist Mill in Babcock State Park. The bridge looks
magnificent in the trees and you did a really nice job. Thanks for sharing!

When the New River Gorge Bridge was completed on October 22, 1977, a travel challenge was solved. The bridge reduced a 40-minute drive down narrow mountain roads and across one of North America's oldest rivers to less than a minute. When it comes to road construction, mountains do pose a challenge. In the case of the New River Gorge Bridge, challenge was transformed into a work of structural art - the longest steel span in the western hemisphere and the third highest in the United States.

The New River Gorge Bridge is one of the most photographed places in West Virginia. The bridge was chosen to represent the state on the commemorative quarter released by the U.S. Mint in 2006. In 2013, the National Park Service listed the New River Gorge Bridge in the National Register of Historic Places as a significant historic resource.

This is an I Phone photo that I took on May 5, 2021. The narrative above is from the National Park website for the bridge.
