Most Exciting Raft Trip

Looking for the most adventurous raft trip available during your stay in the New River Gorge?  This is the trip for you. The best way to describe this trip is it’s a grab bag of whitewatery goodness.  A blind date with adventure.  Our expert river managers will select for you the best section of water with the highest amount of adventure.  We all know weather is our fickle friend when it comes to outdoor activities, but our river managers know more about watersheds and tributary flow than some folks with an advanced degree in geology.  Whether it’s the New River, the New River Dries, the Gauley, the Cherry or the Meadow all you gotta do is, “Buy the ticket,  take the ride.” Did we mention these trips are in our high performance 12 foot boats?  This high-performance rafting trip is designed to push your limits and deliver the best whitewater of the day, in the region.
