À quoi s'attendre

Adventures on the Gorge
Meet your rafting trip leader at the departure point. You will listen to a brief orientation and get your gear (personal flotation device, helmet and paddle). Then, you will have a 30-minute ride on a school bus down to the river put-in. Your guide will go over additional instructions once you get in the raft. The trip begins with a few smaller class I-III rapids as you ease into paddling and working as a team. Then, you hit some bigger rapids rated class IV-V. About half way through the trip, your trip will pull over and eat a deli-style lunch on the shore. After lunch, you will continue downstream into the heart of the Gorge. Here you’ll go through several rapids rated class III-V.  Between rapids, there is time for swimming, floating and maybe (based on water levels) jumping off of rocks. The trip ends just past the New River Gorge Bridge.

Aventures dans les gorges
Rencontrez votre accompagnateur de rafting au point de départ. Vous écouterez une brève orientation et récupérerez votre équipement (vêtement de flottaison individuel, casque et pagaie). Ensuite, vous ferez un trajet de 30 minutes en autobus scolaire jusqu'à l'entrée de la rivière. Votre guide passera en revue les instructions supplémentaires une fois que vous serez monté dans le radeau. Le voyage commence par quelques petits rapides de classe I-III pendant que vous vous familiarisez avec la pagaie et le travail en équipe. Ensuite, vous frappez des rapides plus gros classés de classe IV-V. À peu près à mi-chemin du voyage, votre voyage s'arrêtera et mangera un déjeuner de style traiteur sur le rivage. Après le déjeuner, vous continuerez en aval au cœur des gorges. Ici, vous traverserez plusieurs rapides classés de classe III-V. Entre les rapides, il y a du temps pour nager, flotter et peut-être (selon le niveau de l'eau) sauter des rochers. Le voyage se termine juste après le New River Gorge Bridge.

Several of us right up every year to go rafting. It's a big place with lots of people which I typically don't like but it's so spread out you really don't notice it. We always tent camp when we're here. I love the selection of restaurants and bars that give you something to do all throughout the day and evening. One of the restaurants makes really good margaritas, and another makes great pizzas. There always seems to be a draft beer special. Love to watch the kids doing the obstacle course.

Thank you! Pro-tip: next time you book, ask for Campground B. It's nice and secluded!

West Virginia's New River is supposed to be the second oldest river in the world, right after the Nile, although there seems to be some dispute as to that statement. Either way, it's pretty old, and pair that with a whole bunch of local mining history and you know you're in for a nice little trip on the water. Our excellent and excellently funny guide Ray Ray was so much more than just a river runner helping guide our raft from point A to point B. He filled us in on plenty of local lore and had a broad knowledge of fauna and flora as well. And he's open to any questions that you may have. I have to say he gave me the jitters on the half hour bus ride to the drop off point, as he warned the crowd of the potential and inherent dangers of rafting (I must admit I was about fifty percent sure I was going to die that day). But even with the water level being a dozen feet higher than normal (rerouting us and denying us from floating under the New River Gorge Bridge), all went pretty smoothly. It was my first ever rafting trip, but it was such a fun enterprise that I immediately wanted more of it. Lunch is included in your $100 or so. And when all is done, the raft guides will down a couple beers in the Adventures on the Gorge bar (they don't just do rafting, they are a complete outfitting organization) and so should you. Was everything copastetic? Well, I found that they pushed us too much towards buying merchandise against the cold that we ended up not needing, but apart from that, no complaints.

Reverend, Ray Ray! Thank you, Stijn-traveler. Sorry about the cold-weather gear. Here's the logic behind that: it's always easier to cool down on the river than it is to warm up.
