MORE DETAILS

Greatly underestimated, the Lower Gauley River whitewater rafting offers a fantastic, exciting run without the nonstop, no-breathing-room of the Upper Gauley.  The Lower Gauley boasts 50 rapids total, ranging from class III-V. It’s comparable to the Lower New but with twice the amount of rapids and guaranteed BIG water.  This trip is great for beginners who are new to Gauley River rafting and experienced rafters alike!

FALL GAULEY SEASON

Fall Gauley Season, a bucket list item for many, is a legendary, unforgettable experience. Starting each September, the US Army Corp of Engineers releases the water from Summersville Lake for 6 weekends in a row. The water flows into the Gauley River, creating a run many consider to be the top single-day rafting trip in the world.

This scenic and remote river has two sections, one that is a pulse-pounding, wild, class V adventure, and another that is a little tamer. The Upper, more wild section of river boasts five class V+ rapids, including a 14-foot waterfall.

The Lower Gauley section is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful stretches of river that we run (and that’s saying something).
