The New River Gorge National River in West Virginia is an ideal vacation spot with a wide range of white water rafting trips and outdoor adventures for people of all ages and walks of life.
The New River tumbles over a boulder-strewn riverbed on a scenic 53-mile descent through more than 32,000 acres of river corridor. Commonly known as the “ Grand Canyon of the East”, the steep cliffs and upland forest surrounding the canyon create a wealth of opportunities for outdoor adventure trips including rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing and much more.
The Upper New River offers family white water rafting featuring Class II-III rapids that are relatively mild in nature. You'll find plenty of places to relax and play along the way whether rafting as a group or paddling an inflatable duck. And if an afternoon is not enough, make an evening of it on an Upper New River Overnighter. There is no better place to spend time with family and friends.
The Lower New Riversteps up the pace with exciting white water rafting and over 25 rapids ranging from Class II-IV . Between the drops are relaxing pools where you can catch your breath and gather strength for the next big challenge. The gorge creates a spectacular setting for your adventure filled with natural scenic beauty and abundant wildlife. If you're really adventurous, try the Rapid Run Trip and pack two runs in during the same day!
