Whitewater rafting on this “Gauley Reverse” 2 day will allow you to experience each section of the Gauley River, just not the way Mother Nature intended! Your first taste of Gauley River rafting will be on the Middle/Lower section learning the complexities of white water rafting and coming to understand what 'Big Volume' means in true whitewater rafting terms. You'll get your feet wet on this section, both literally and figuratively!
Once initiated, you'll graduate to the powerful Upper Gauley River section on Day 2 to test your river running skills on more than 40 rapids - 5 of them Class V's! This trip lets you see everything the Gauley River has to offer in a format that rewards you every step of the way with big river excitement and beautiful West Virginia scenery.
*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.

Finding out after the Middle/Lower Gauley River on day 1 that on day 2 you may actually want to paddle faster when you hear that banjo music, or at least when the guide tells you to!!
From our guide, PJ, who safely and humorously managed to navigate us safely down the river, to the Molony's who made us feel at home the minute we arrived and saddened us to leave behind, the entire trip was fantastic.
