The world-class Gauley River flows during the spring and summer with less reliable water flows, the potential for exciting possibilities, and refreshing cool river water (the majority of the water is from the base of Summersville Dam). Be ready for the adventure of the day! Take the challenge in duckies on the Middle Gauley at lower water levels. The Middle Gauley features easy to moderately difficult whitewater (Class I-IV). Medium to high water levels on the Lower Gauley create long and continuous rapids with roller coaster wave trains and powerful hydraulics. During the 98% reliable Fall Gauley releases, the Lower Gauley is often overlooked because of the world-class fame of the Upper Gauley. However, with over 45 rapids and breathtaking canyon scenery, the Lower Gauley is the best choice for an adventurous first time rafter, a New River enthusiast looking for the next challenge, or seasoned veterans.
