First time white water rafter. Family of four. Our guide (Everett) was great, telling us history of the area while we coasted down the river, telling us all about the rapid we were about to enter, how to navigate, and what to do if something happens, like you fall out of the boat. Nobody fell out, and the rapids were awesome. I can't wait to do this again. They told me the Gauley river in the fall is a more of a ride, with more Class 5's and a big waterfall. That one is next for me!
