Fall Gauley Trips

Upper Gauley

The Upper Gauley River is not for wimps! You'll be challenged by the ultimate in white water ~ including five consecutive MONSTER rapids: Insignificant, Pillow Rock, Lost Paddle, Iron Ring, and Sweet's Falls. Negotiating the Upper Gauley demands quick response to your Class VI professional guide's commands, hard paddling, and a great deal of physical tenacity. Is it worth it? YOU BET! If you're able and willing to do your part, you're in for maximum exhilaration. We'd love to describe the sensation; you've got to feel it to understand it. When there's time to take a look around you, the Gauley River is situated in a beautiful canyon - lots of rocks, rock walls, cliffs and waterfalls. Don't forget to look back upstream to see just how far you dropped! An Adventure Seekers First Choice! One of the world's most popular white water rafting attractions is West Virginia's Gauley River, offering more than 100 major rapids and a 650' vertical drop during its 28-mile course. During the fall 'draw down' (when water is released through the Summersville Dam to bring the man-made Summersville Lake to winter levels) white water enthusiasts come from all corners of the earth to experience the guaranteed world-class white water rafting. This highly anticipated fall attraction is consistently one of the best-attended events in adventure sports.

Lower Gauley

West Virginia's Lower Gauley offers white water rafting and rapids similar in nature to those found on the Lower New River- but in a quantity significantly greater (proving that age-old theory that 'if some is good, more is better')! This high adventure trip, staged between astounding canyon walls, treats you to rapids appropriately named for the experience they offer..
