Only At ACE! This is a true wilderness camping and whitewater rafting adventure. ACE Adventure Resort chooses the best sections of the Gauley, depending on current water conditions, and then custom builds a self-contained overnight trip just for you. Once you launch on your first day’s adventure, your group will be alone in one of the East’s most beautiful and unspoiled canyons... the Gauley River.
All your gear is carried in small rafts and ducks, so it’s a more “minimalist” camping experience than ACE's other overnight trips. Meals are cooked on the campfire and individual one or two-person tents are set up alongside the river. It’s calm and it’s quiet... a rare thing in this day and age. Sometimes, water levels and dam releases dictate that plans change while on the river. This adds even more to the sense of this being a real adventure in the outdoors. Your guides have emergency radio contact with ACE’s base camp in case river conditions force a change in the planned itinerary. In the East, there aren’t any commercial river overnights that compare to this. That’s because there are very few commercially run rivers as remote and unspoiled as the Gauley. If you’d like to soak in a unique outdoor experience, give ACE Adventure Resort's adventure specialist a call for complete details – they make planning your next adventure a snap.
