Scenic Float Trips

This guided float trip blends exquisite scenery of the New River Gorge National River with the calming, tranquil experience of being in nature.  Your guide will share tales of area culture and folklore.  This New River Gorge rafting trip is recommended for multi-generational families including children as young as six to grandparents and more mature adults, looking for a soft adventure and a low impact rafting expedition.

The Upper New River is a mild introduction to river rafting that is often referred to as a scenic float trip.  While you have the opportunity to paddle and participate in the excursion, you may also opt to upgrade to an oar-assisted raft and let the guide do all the work.
