Gauley River Whitewater Rafting Marathon (Fall Only)

Summary Description

A double treat, starting with high adrenaline rafting on the Gauley River's Class IV/V rapids, including the infamous drop over Sweets Falls, and then moving into the long and spectacular Lower Gauley, for a total of 26 miles! A great trip for adventure travelers who want to take on all-day endurance and fun.

Amazing adventure, includes hearty lunch, usually with a great view of the other rafts, where you can cheer and witness the good, the bad, and the ugly attempts over the Falls. After lunch, continue this special extended trip down the Lower Gauley, with rapids that most people never see. A true 26 mile rafting marathon!

At the river, you will get into your group's raft with your Guide, and immediately enter the Gauley River during an active dam release. This is NOT a slow start!! You will immediately paddle into a rush of excitement as the trip gets off to a very fast start. The river terrain is impressive, with huge boulders, dramatic drops, and quick changes in expanse and elevation.
