Nuttallburg is one of the most complete coal-mining complexes in the country, with a tipple and a 1,385-foot conveyor from 1926 that carried coal down from the mine, and Henry Ford once held its lease. Foundations of a church, school and homes remain along short trails in New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, and the town existed from about 1870 to 1958.
Trails range from short to moderate; the road is narrow and steep, so avoid large vehicles.
