Spend your first day padding the steep, powerful whitewater of the Upper Gauley, maneuvering through renowned Class V rapids like Pillow Rock, Lost Paddle, and the 14’ waterfall Sweet’s Falls. After 11 miles, find yourself at our private riverside Woods Ferry Overnight site. Get dry and enjoy some time around the fire, take a waterfall hike up Ramsey Branch Creek, or sit and soak in the sights and sounds of the Class IV Woods Ferry rapid. Your guides will navigate the camp kitchen just as well as the whitewater, serving you some amazing dinner and breakfast options before embarking on the Lower Gauley for day two. Though not as steep as the Upper, the Lower Gauley is known for its huge, crashing waves, stunning scenery, and for being the most remote section of whitewater that we offer. Paddle 14 miles, including three more Class V rapids, on your way to completing the entire Gauley River.
