Upper Gauley River Rafting

You'll be challenged by the ultimate in West Virginia white water ~ including five consecutive MONSTER rapids: Insignificant, Pillow Rock, Lost Paddle, Iron Ring, and Sweet's Falls. The Gauley River demands respect - and in return will give you the ride of your life. Negotiating the Upper Gauley River demands quick response to your Adventures on the Gorge professional rafting guide's commands, hard paddling, and a great deal of physical tenacity. Is it worth it? YOU BET! If you're able and willing to do your part, you're in for maximum exhilaration. We'd love to describe the sensation; you've got to feel it to understand it. During the fall 'draw down' (when water is released through the Summersville Dam to bring the man-made Summersville Lake to winter levels) white water enthusiasts come from all corners of the earth to experience the guaranteed world-class white water rafting. This highly anticipated fall attraction is consistently one of the best-attended events in adventure sports.
