Vacations are an essential part of our lives. We invest time, energy and hope in them. It's with you in mind that we built our unique 1,400-acre Adventure Center. We knew vacationers would appreciate having all of West Virginia's great outdoor recreational experiences plus the finest lodging–all in one single place.

Whether you’re introducing your first-grader to the Upper New or challenging the Gauley with your wild and crazy friends, we can help you plan the perfect getaway.

At ACE, you can view a starry sky from your own private hot tub, toast marshmallows with the kids, or simply soak up the sun and get into that book you’ve been wanting to read.

As one of our guests said, “The great thing about ACE is that you can do it all…come here, stay here, eat here, play here and RELAX here.” All the best adventures and lodging, all in one place.

More Experience

For 25 years, our team has pioneered most of the modern trips offered today on the New and Gauley rivers.

• First to bring self-bailing technology to the Eastern U.S.
• World's first self-bailing inflatable kayaks
• First outfitter to run daily trips on the Gauley River all season long
• More people choose ACE as their Gauley and New River outfitter

Our simple philosophy of quality and safety first means our guest-to-guide ratio is the lowest of any competitor: only 6.2 : 1. This low ratio allows the personal attention from the guide that each rafter deserves. You'll be safer and you'll have more fun with a more personal guest-to-guide experience.

America's Best Whitewater

Nowhere else in the U.S. will you find a trip that is safe and appealing to your young ones, OR a ride so wild it takes your breath away. Here in our own backyard, we have the 52 mile New River Gorge and the 26 mile Gauley River, both world-class whitewater rivers. If that's not enough, there are over 150 miles of run-able creeks and rivers within an hour's drive.

We aren't the only ones who think our whitewater is spectacular. The 2001 World Rafting Championships were held on the New and Gauley, and the National Rafting Championships were here in 2002. Our rivers have the best combination of volume, technical difficulty, natural beauty and long season in the continental U. S.

From the peaceful Class III waters of the Upper New to the Class V+ powerful Upper Gauley, there's a rafting adventure to suit just about anyone's needs.

Instead of contracting out services to the lowest bidder, as is common in the adventure industry, we've assembled a team of over 200 dedicated people, each determined to meet the highest standard of customer attention. This means that our team takes care of you from start to finish: reservations, guides, food service, lodging, transportation–even our own kayak school plus caving, biking and climbing programs. Everything is right here on the grounds at ACE Adventure Center. You'll find out that it really pays to go with the highest quality outfitter.
