Lower Gauley

The fall Lower Gauley is considered a moderate adventure and combines exhilarating rapids with magnificent scenery from start to finish. This high adventure trip feels like a watery roller coaster ride – a favorite among intermediate paddlers. It is set in a pristine wilderness which allows you to marvel at the rugged canyon walls and grandeur between rapids. Indulge your passion for adventure. This trip is often the next step after rafting the New River, although it is suitable for adventurous beginners (age 12 and up). The Lower Gauley is the perfect prelude to the intense Upper Gauley.

  • 1 Day Rafting
