FAQ
A favorite among everyone from first-time rafters to whitewater enthusiasts. The Lower New River steps up the pace with exciting whitewater rafting and over 25 rapids from Classes II – V. Between the rapids and drops there are pools of calm water where you can catch your breath and gather strength for the next challenge. This trip runs through the scenic New River Gorge and finishes up right below the New River Gorge Bridge. Trip length and intensity vary based on water levels which change throughout the season. In the spring, the trip is usually 16 miles long, in the summer and fall it is typically 11 miles long. Both trips include a jump rock, swimmer’s rapid, riverside lunch and over 25 other rapids.
Upper New River
The most popular trip for families, the mild whitewater of the Upper New River offers gentle rapids and scenic views of the New River Gorge. This trip is ideal for family raft trips, scouts and youth groups as an introduction to whitewater rafting. Larger rafts are used on high water days and duckies (small inflatable kayaks that hold 1 adult or 1 child and 1 adult) on normal days. Every day, all season long, kids ages 12 years old raft at half the price of the adult Saturday rate with an accompanying adult.
On class III-IV and harder trips, a guide sits in every raft and provides instruction at each major rapid and throughout the trip. On some trips, guests may be in their own inflatable kayaks (duckies). If that is the case, guides will be present to instruct, advise and assist.
The standard rafts are 16 feet long, comfortably seating 8 guests and a guide.
Depending on the water level, you’ll spend between 4-6 hours on the water plus shuttle time to and from the river.
Bring any medication you need throughout the day, plus sunscreen, sunglasses and a change of clothes to keep at the resort upon your return. Guides carry small waterproof bags to stow necessary medications. Depending on the time of year and the weather, you may also want a synthetic layer. If necessary, wetsuits and splash jackets are available for rent.
