Rafting and Riverside Lunch

Gear up for a full day of whitewater adventure with two rafting options to fit your thrill level:


🚣‍♀️ Lower Gauley River (Class III–V) – Big Rapids to Smooth Water, Rinse & Repeat


A perfect balance of excitement and relaxation with 50 rapids and guaranteed BIG water with an awesome Class V to finish off the ride. Rollercoaster rapids are followed by calmer stretches, where you can take in the stunning scenery. Ideal for both beginners and experienced rafters ages 12 an up looking for an adventurous yet approachable experience.


🌊 Upper Gauley River (Class II–V) – Rock and Roll All the Way to Takeout


Non-stop action from start to finish with 50+ rapids and a 14-foot cascading waterfall. Known for its powerful rapids, technical drops, and heart-pounding pace, this stretch is a bucket-list run for experienced rafters ages 15 and up ready to take on one of the East Coast's most challenging rivers.


Midway through your journey, enjoy a delicious riverside lunch prepared by your guides — refueling you for the second half of your adventure.
