Lower New River
Rafting
Adventure Class Whitewater (Class
II-V) Fayetteville, WV - Deep in the heart of West Virginia
How many times can one river trip take your
breath away? How high can you count? The Lower New River is one of the most
popular whitewater trips in the country and is certainly River Expeditions
signature trip. No two trips are ever the same, so each day and each experience
is new, different and exciting.
The Lower New River Gorge is commonly
referred to as ‘The Grand Canyon of the East’. This trip blends
classic whitewater excitement with the elements of history and natural beauty
to create a truly amazing adventure.
This unique experience features
moderate to difficult rapids as a high volume of water constricts through the
narrow gorge strewn with giant boulders. You’ll encounter huge holes,
roller coaster waves and house-size rocks plus extras like “Jump
Rock”, “Swimmer’s Rapid” and even ‘surfing’...
West Virginia style!
This trip is appropriate for beginners (age 12 and up), as
well as experienced paddlers. The Lower New River alternates from Class II - V
(mild - wild) rapids to pools, allowing paddlers a break between the action.
It’s exciting, refreshing, invigorating and always unforgettable.
You’ll even take out beneath the world famous New River Gorge Bridge on
this trip.
