Overview

There is no adventure like whitewater rafting and there is no river trip like a Lower New River Gorge whitewater rafting trip. Rafting the New through the New River Gorge National Park is a milestone for East Coast paddlers.

The New River Gorge is the second oldest river in the world. Coursing through a 1000' deep canyon that is lined with soaring sandstone cliffs it is no surprise that this area was recently designated as a National Park. Wildlife sightings are abundant and guests will finish their river trip beneath the famous single arch expansion bridge known as the New River Gorge Bridge.

    What To Expect

    If you're on a tighter schedule and don't have time for a full day on the river this half day trip through the New River Gorge National Park is perfect for you!

This is an 8-12 mile trip depending on the water level the day of your trip.

    Transportation to and from the river is included on this full day adventure.

    A trained, professional guide will be guiding your raft.

    Q: Will I get seasick on Half Day New River Gorge Whitewater Rafting?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
