Travel Itinerary
- Exclusive to travelers from this booking.
Rafting excitement in New River Gorge National Park with our highly experienced guides. Class III/IV rapids. Amazing scenery, includes catered lunch break on the river at the halfway point (no lunch on afternoon express trips).
You will start the day by checking in at our BaseCamp, and meeting the Trip Leader and your Guide. We will answer any questions or concerns you have, and outfit everyone in your party with a paddle, PFD (flotation/lifejacket), and helmet. On the short bus ride to the river, we will go over safety instructions, get you ready for what to expect, and usually keep you laughing.
At the river, you will get into the raft with your group and your Guide and, after a few practice strokes, you will get the rush of your first rapid! The scenery through the national forest is spectacular, from remnants of old coal mining operations tucked into majestic mountains and rock formations, to birds of prey, water birds, and even bald eagles.
You will complete your river adventure under the New River Gorge Bridge, the longest single-span arch bridge in the world when it was built. The bridge is 3000 feet long, 876 feet above the river, and the 3rd tallest bridge in the US.View Location
