Want to go Whitewater rafting in WV - Recommendations

  • Check out Ace Rafting. My wife and I have done the full day Gauley runs they have several times. Best time is during the fall season when they are doing dam releases on the Gauley but that does cause some conflicts with football.

    We've used Songer Whitewater a couple of times and had a blast.

    Upper Gauley will do the trick

    The last of the Upper Gauley 's Big Five Class V Rapids is located about ten miles below the dam. The fourteen foot falls were named after John Sweet for his first descent of them in 1968. The broken ledge system that forms this powerful rapid provides some options regarding different lines and also numerous hazards.

    Here we take on the rock whose name I can't mention. And lose.

    +1 on Songer, I've used them three times for the Upper Gauley and always had a blast. The guides will usually cater to your level of expertise. If you want to do it right, take the 4-man raft and let the guide know you want to have fun.
