White water rafting trips on the Lower Gauley River

Lower Gauley River Trips - Spring & Summer
The Gauley River, most famous for its world-class whitewater in the fall, is a hidden gem in the spring and summer. Prized for its beauty and value, the Gauley in the spring and summer is great for those that crave adventure in the unknown. The river flows are unpredictable. Keeping tabs on the weather and river levels, adjustments are constantly made to catch the best ride out there. From low to high, it’s a good ride whether you’re in a raft on the Upper or Lower or a duckie on the Middle. Imagine - lush foliage, cool mountain water and no crowds.

The Spring & Summer Gauley is available in a one-day format, departs in the morning, is available April through Labor Day, has a minimum age of 14 and is rated R. The Spring & Summer Gauley is potentially one of our most challenging runs. Due to fluctuating water levels and river conditions NARR river staff has discretion to run the trip on any section of the Gauley River, in their choice of craft including duckies, or move to the New River without advance notice. If you have time, try the best of both rivers - the Lower New and the Spring & Summer Gauley. A second day of rafting entitles you to a 25% discount.

Lower Gauley River Trips - Fall
Revered by seasoned boaters and welcomed by novices, the Lower Gauley is a great prelude to the Upper Gauley, yet can stand on its own. Roller coaster waves and big hydraulics create drenching runs on this beautiful section of river.

The Fall Lower Gauley is available in one- and two-day formats. Both formats depart in the morning, are available in September and October and have a minimum age of 14. Click here for 2009 Gauley Release Dates
