The Best White Water Rafting in US: Summer Rapids Are Back!

Our particularly beautiful stretch of the West Virginian Appalachian Mountains is known for its white water rafting trips along the Lower New and Gauley rivers. ACE Adventure Resort has been providing thrillseekers with some of the best white water rafting in US (as well as countless other activities) for decades. Rock climbing, ziplining, and paintball are all available on our jaw-dropping 1,500-acre wilderness property. Many believe the world-famous Fall Gauley season to be supreme, but the combination of summer heat and refreshingly cool river water is tough to beat! And thanks to summer’s rising temperatures, there are no restrictions on outdoor activities, such as mountain biking, kayaking, SUPing, and fishing.
