Overview
The perfect balance of relaxation and thrills, our half-day Lake Multi-Sport adventure trip is the ultimate summer experience. This trip navigates Summersville Lake on a pontoon boat, giving you the option to just chill on board, go for a swim, or explore the lake on a stand-up paddleboard. We provide transportation to and from Summersville Lake as well as safety equipment. This trip is truly one of a kind. Not only will you get to cruise around one of the most beautiful lakes that you just have to see to believe, but you’ll also experience many of the activities that make our area in West Virginia so unique!
Sheer cliff walls and rock formations surround much of the lake, making it much different from many other lakes in the country. And the best way to explore the coves, waterfalls, and rock faces is with Adventures on the Gorge on a pontoon boat!
Summersville Lake, known as the “Little Bahamas of the East” is the largest lake in West Virginia. This reservoir was made when the Gauley River was dammed in the 1960s and serves as a recreational paradise all summer long. The crystal clear water, which earned Summersville Lake its nickname, is released for 6 weekends every fall, creating a different recreational experience: Gauley River rafting.
You’ll be provided all gear and safety equipment. Each pontoon boat has one certified guide, who can help you get started with stand-up paddleboarding. They also know all the best spots to stop and swim. Each pontoon boat can accommodate 6 guests.
Comfortable shoes (flip flops are allowed on this trip), a long sleeve shirt or jacket for cooler days, shorts or a swimsuit depending on the weather report, rain gear for rainy or windy days, sunglasses with a neck strap, sunscreen, insect repellent, drinking water, and a small backpack or fanny pack.
The minimum age for this adventure is 8 years old. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, please consult with your physician before attempting any new activity. We can take up to six guests per boat on two different boats per trip.
Your guides will discuss specific safety requirements on site.
