Why Spring is Prime Time for Whitewater
Early-season water levels mean faster flows and fewer crowds—a dream combination for outdoor lovers. The New River in spring is the largest volume Class V whitewater river in North America.

Weather temperatures average 71 degrees in May.
Benefits of Spring Rafting:
- Cooler weather makes for a refreshing experience
- Typically higher water levels
- See the Gorge come to life as trees bud and flowers begin to bloom
- Early-season discount packages offer unbeatable value
- A peaceful, less crowded Gorge compared to peak summer
