Itinerary

A special trip down the Lower Gauley, which only runs a few weeks each year. Our highly experienced guides will navigate you through Class III/IV rapids that most people never see. Beautiful history-laden terrain. Includes catered lunch break on the river.

At the river, you will get into your group's raft with your Guide, and after a few practice strokes and getting comfortable in the raft, you will get the rush of your first rapid! This trip is filled with history, from the Native Americans, Civil War battles, and the creation of Summersville Dam (including the flooding of the Village of Gad).

About halfway through the day we will stop along the banks for a delicious buffet lunch, with build your own sandwiches, fresh fruit, snacks and dessert. (If you have special dietary needs, please let us know at the time you make your reservation so we can accommodate them.)

We had the BEST time on the New River. Our guides were excellent, Stephen, Keagan, and Mason navigated the rapids with great skill and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. There were 9 in our group and all of us had a great time. We enjoyed our rest with a picnic on the beach and a skipping rock competition. It was a great adventure. I highly recommend it.

What an amazing rafting experience for our family! Steve was an excellent guide and an all-around great guy! He made us comfortable on the rapids from the start and told us so much history about the area along the way. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. We'll be back for more but will probably raise the bar and try a more challenging run. I highly recommend this trip for families.

We had a great time on our 3 hour afternoon rafting trip. The weather was beautiful and our guides were awesome (Patrick and Tristan). We navigated a class 4 rapid that shook up my 11 year old, and our guides stopped to make sure he was okay and gave him some personal attention and encouragement before we continued, which was really thoughtful.
