*Spaces are limited and fill quickly. Gauley Season is only 6 weekends long!
Description
Experience the entirety of the Gauley-but spread out over two days! And! You’ll raft the tamer of the two sections, the Lower Gauley, first-to help get you ready for the big show, the Upper Gauley, on day two!
This is a great way for first-time rafters to get some experience under their belts (lifejackets?) so they can conquer the big sister of the Gauley, the world-famous Upper Gauley!
Both days on the river include riverside lunches, prepared for you by your guides.
MORE DETAILS
Raft the Lower Gauley on day one, then the Upper Gauley on day two!
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

FALL GAULEY SEASON
Fall Gauley Season is legendary and limited. Dam controlled, these releases start each September and conclude before October ends. These releases are at a guaranteed level that provides guests with the best rafting trip available all year. This run is, in fact, world-class AND world-famous!
The Upper Gauley River is the most challenging run, suitable for experienced rafters only. Guests will face 5 class V+ rapids… the most challenging level of rapids that can be run commercially by law. But, this section of the river is not just adrenaline. It’s also an awe-inspiring journey into the wilderness of West Virginia. Get ready for a challenge, fun, and an incredible adventure!
The Lower Gauley is a bit tamer than the Upper Gauley. The class III-V section of the river is known for incredible scenery, and super fun rapids!
