The Lower New, from Thurmond to Fayette Station, is one of the most popular rafting trips in the country. It features over 25 rapids with an impressive blend of rugged scenery and fantastic whitewater. The first half of the day begins on a relatively mild section of water giving everyone a chance to warm up and work together as a team. These paddling skills will come in handy when tackling the exciting rapids of for the powerful Lower New River Gorge. The characteristics of the river can vary greatly; tipping the scale from big water runs in the spring and early summer to more technical flows common during the mid to late summer months. The forgiving pool-drop nature of this river offers calm water between rapids that allow you to regroup before moving downstream. Whether you are a seasoned rafter or complete newbie, you’ll be coming back year after year to experience whitewater excitement at its finest!
