You’re ready for a serious physical and mental throw-down. Ok. We’ve got you, soldier.

There’s a whitewater rafting trip for every challenge level and comfort zone. The Upper New River Gorge offers rafting trips that are kid-friendly for kids as young as 6! There are several beginner-friendly options like the Lower New River Gorge at Summer levels or the Upper New River.

Experienced whitewater rafters will stay entertained and smiling on the Lower New River Gorge or Lower Gauley in the Fall. But, for the most difficult whitewater rafting trips check out the Upper Gauley in the Fall or Team Extreme for the most challenging Summer rafting!

Unplug the littles and get them out on the water and playing in the sunshine. This is a trip they’ll never forget with the chance to paddle in an inflatable kayak (ducky) or jump in a guided raft the Upper New River Gorge offers non-stop fun on the water!
