Lower Gauley River Express Trip:
This twelve-mile watery roller coaster is a perfect fall rafting trip for first-time rafters. It's tamer than the Upper section of the Gauley River, plus there's plenty of rafting excitement as you encounter big waves and stunning scenery. You'll have time to swim in between rapids or plunge into the water from "jump rock".
Similar in character to the Upper Gauley River but not quite as intense or technical, this section has huge waves to get your heart pounding. This Adventure Class run is a favorite of veteran rafters and perfect for adventurous beginners. A great warm up for the Upper Section of the Gauley River.

The Upper Gauley River's World Class whitewater attracts paddlers from all over the country. Tough and technical, this section of river has it all -- powerful water, steep drops, colossal waves and turbulent chutes.

The Upper Gauley River insists upon physical and mental stamina and beckons only serious whitewater enthusiasts. This full day trip includes continental breakfast, hot grilled lunch at our exclusive Sweets Falls access and complimentary beverages after rafting.
Demanding rapids which require precise maneuvering and test your teamwork characterize this high impact trip.
