Want to try whitewater rafting but not sure you'll like it? Or maybe you don't have the time to do a full day (or even a half-day) trip? If so, this mini-trip will fit perfectly in your summer vacation plans! Meet us at basecamp and we'll take you down to the river, underneath the New River Gorge Bridge to the banks of the spectacular New River. Here, you'll jump into your guided raft where you'll experience three rollicking whitewater rapids, Jump Rock (cannonballs anyone?) and lots of water play - all in 2 hours time!
A shorter version is our Scenic Hawkes Nest Float Trip, from Teay's Landing to Hawkes Nest Lake. THe takeout is right below Class VI - Mountain River, so you‘ll be back in no time to enjoy gourmet dining overlooking another gorgeous sunset at the rim of the New River Gorge.
