About Island Loop Trail
This wooded loop in the Sandstone area of New River Gorge National Park makes a pleasant add-on to a day around the falls. It lies within walking distance of the Sandstone Falls Boardwalk, so the two are convenient to combine. The route suits a quiet walk among the trees before or after a stop by the water.
