First-Time Rafters Special. The entire Gauley River is world-class whitewater from start to finish. If this is your first time rafting, the Reverse is perfect for you. “Warming up” with a day on the Lower Gauley lets you get an idea of what you’re about to face when you tackle the Upper Gauley. The more adventurous first-timers will find their appetite whetted while more conservative members might decide that the Lower Gauley is all the whitewater action they care to handle. These folks then have the option of changing their second day trip to something they know they’ll enjoy, like the Lower New River. This trip format lets you see the whole 23+ miles and 100+ rapids, spread out over two days of exciting and scenic rafting. Hot, grilled gourmet lunches included both days.
