Huge waves, large holes, and drops that’ll seem almost unrunnable by raft: this whitewater rafting tour through West Virginia’s Lower Gauley River is full of rapids rated from Class I through Class V. Prepare to tackle Class III rapids throughout the trip, knowing that your professional guide and crew members will help you stay afloat. Lunch, drinks, safety gear, and paddles are all provided.
Meet your rafting trip leader at the departure point. You will listen to a brief orientation and get your gear (personal flotation device, helmet and paddle). Then, you will have a 45-minute ride on a school bus down to the river put-in. Your guide will go over additional instructions once you get in the raft.
A return shuttle with complimentary beverages brings you back to the resort.
45 minutes • Admission Ticket Free
The trip begins with a few smaller class I-III rapids as you ease into paddling and working as a team. Then, you hit some bigger rapids rated class IV-V. About half-way through the trip, you will pull over and eat a grilled hot riverside lunch on the shore. After lunch, you will continue downstream into some more booming whitewater. Here you’ll go through several rapids rated class III-V, like Koontz’s Flume and PSH. Between rapids, there is time for a swimmer’s rapid and maybe (based on water levels) jumping off of rocks. A return shuttle with complimentary beverages brings you back to the resort.
