Why take this tour?

The Lower Gauley, a treasured section of whitewater in West Virginia to those in the know, is often ignored for its upstream sibling, the daring and adventurous Upper Gauley. We believe that the Lower Gauley is one of the best stretches of whitewater anywhere and should be appreciated as such: consider this a Lower Gauley Fan Page.

Similar in difficulty to the Lower New River, The Lower Gauley encompasses 15 miles of wild and scenic splendor in the heart of Appalachia. Gauley Season, which takes place for six to seven weekends during September and October, is a special time of year for those who love whitewater. Cool morning fog fills the Gauley River Canyon, and the changing leaves add drama to an already incredible landscape.

During this full day trip, you’ll raft numerous class III-V rapids. Rolling waves are always on the menu, but so is a delicious hot riverside lunch served to you by your guides.
