NRocks Outdoor Adventures
Embrace the high life — be it navigating the via ferrata route or zip-line course — at this destination near Monongahela National Forest in Circleville, West Virginia,

Tucked along the north fork of the Potomac River’s south branch, NRocks Outdoor Adventures caters to those looking to experience a slice of Mountain State scenery. Located adjacent to Monongahela National Forest, NRocks is located within a National Radio Quiet Zone, meaning there is no cell service, although the guest lounge has Wi-Fi.
The main attraction here is the via ferrata, a passage over rock that uses cables and steel rungs to help adventurers safely navigate the terrain. It was installed here in 2002. The experience takes visitors between 88 and 265 pounds and ages 13 and older on a guided tour that can last anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours. Participants encounter heights up to 280 feet and a 200-foot-long swinging bridge.
The North Fork Valley Canopy Tour offers seven zip lines in a 1-to-2.5-hour experience that sends visitors gliding through the treetops. Guests can book overnight accommodations at one of NRock Outdoor Adventures’ tent-camping sites, in one of its motel-style rooms or at the Yellow House Inn rental that offers a full kitchen. 141 Nelson Gap Rd., Circleville, West Virginia 26804, 540/437-9901, nrocks.com
