Whitewater rafting is an incredible team-building outdoor adventure and we have been in the industry for over 40 years. We pride ourselves on our experienced and trusted guides, making our main focus safety.

The Lower New River is our most popular and is an excellent river for beginners and experiences rafters. If you’re looking for a more relaxing float trip, the Upper New River is perfect.

The Gauley River is a great option if you plan on visting during the fall. The Upper Gauley River is only recommended for experienced rafters, but the Lower Gauley River is beginner-friendly and comparable to the Lower New River.

Build your one-day or multi-day excursion.  Rafting, Rock Climbing, Aerial Park, Mountain Biking, and Zip Lining can challenge you physically and personally. The Mud Obstacle, Aerial Park, Paintball, and Team Challenge activities enable your group leaders to observe and evaluate the group working as a team and identify emerging leaders.

Experience the coolest waterpark you’ve ever seen at ACE Adventure Resort. This 5-acre lake is filled with inflatable obstacles, tandem slides, tandem ziplines, and plenty of room to swim. Compete with your friends to see who can complete each obstacle first, or enjoy by yourself.

There’s plenty of opportunity to relax around the lake on the white sandy beach. You will find beach chairs along the lake to find the perfect spot to stretch out. The best part is that the lake is located by the lakeside eatery, so you can grab a bite to eat without having to leave.

Let us cook while you focus your energy on what you came here to do. Have fun! For breakfast, enjoy our classic buffet or grab breakfast sandwiches to go. For lunch, stop by Woodys for our award-winning woodfired pizza, wraps, wings, nachos, sandwiches and more. We can also prepare lunch just for your group! Return to the lost paddle for dinner to enjoy more American favorites.

There’s plenty to do for free at ACE! Stop by the Welcome Center for a resort map and head out on the trails encompassing the terrain around ACE.
