New and Gauley River Rafting, West Virginia
Discover rafting adventures on two of the most uniquely challenging rivers in the country - the New River and the Gauley River.
See for yourself why West Virginia is known as 'America's Best Whitewater®'. Experience a leisurely scenic float trip or a thrilling adventure in the New River Gorge; discover summer fun on a Gauley River Rafting Trip or the amazing rush of whitewater in the fall.
River Expeditions recommends getting your feet wet on the New River and then moving on to the Gauley River. We host many first-time rafters who appreciate the chance to learn and experience the river gradually. No two river trips are ever the same, so although you may have been rafting on the New or Gauley Rivers before, you can bet that no two trips are ever the same.

September 4, 2010 - September 6, 2010Take a Well Deserved Rafting Break
We just came back from a weekend trip to WV to run the Lower Gauley, and it was absolutely worth the 18 hours we drove round trip. Our guide (Matt) was so competent and knew the river so well that each time we encountered a potential hairy situation (Pure Screaming Hell anyone???) he breezed us right through it. We intend on coming back every year, and River Expeditions will be our outfitter of choice when we do. We didn′t want to come home, and we can′t WAIT to come back next Spring! Outstanding job. (Especially to Matt.) :)Jeff and Jaime Welch
