The Middle and Lower sections of the Gauley River are considered Adventurous Whitewater, which means you can expect Class III, IV & V rapids with exciting waves and holes which will definitely keep your attention. You'll need to actively paddle through the rapids of one of the major rivers in West Virginia. And while all Middle-Lower Gauley rafters should be at least 14 years old, you don’t need prior whitewater rafting experience to try this one out.
Excitement is never in short supply on this 17 mile white water rafting journey! With over 70 rapids, this trip is filled with breathtaking canyon scenery, rollercoaster wave trains and powerful hydraulics. It is our longest and most difficult rafting adventure that is still suitable for first-time white water rafting hopefuls yet satisfies the thrill-seeking appetites of all wilderness adventure rafting enthusiasts.
*2011 Season runs Friday-Monday, September 9th-October 16th. Keep in mind that October 15th is West Virginia's famous Bridge Day. We will also be running the Lower New River on that day.

Just wanted to say Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Our trip to Rivermen was kind of a last minute thing and I was really scared we werent going to get in but Kelly went way out and beyond to make sure we got in. Thanks Kelly!!! Our experience on the river was awesome. We were all first timers and our guide Nick did a wonderful job of making our experience a great one. We will be back and we will bring more to share in a great time with Rivermen.
