Spring & Summer white water rafting trips on the Gauley River

Spring & Summer Gauley Trips

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. We offer three differnt trips.

Moderate Spring & Summer Gauley Rafting

These trips are a blast and run different sections of the Middle Gauley and Lower Gauley River…depending on that day’s dam release and water level. There are several sections that feature mild, beginner-friendly rapids…Class II and III…and incredible scenery. The trip can be run with small rafts or our high-tech inflatable kayaks. It’s the Gauley, but it’s not intimidating…and perfect for first-time paddlers.

Note:

The Spring & Summer Gauley is potentially one of our most challenging runs. Due to fluctuating water levels and river conditions NARR river staff has the 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. Our ultimate goal is that you have the best experience possible. If you have time, try the best of both rivers - the Lower New and the Spring & Summer Gauley.
