At Adventures on the Gorge, we believe in the importance of getting kids outside to explore the world around them and to challenge themselves to do things they never thought possible. Our adventures are about more than just fun; they’re about expanding comfort zones, boosting self-confidence, and making childhood memories that will last a lifetime. These adventures are even more memorable for kids when enjoyed with families and friends. That’s why on our Upper New River Trip, kids raft free!
With each paying adult, one kiddo age 6-11 rafts for FREE Sunday-Friday (excludes Saturdays), all summer long! On the Upper New, you can expect to find calm pools, bouncy waves, and kid-friendly whitewater – all with scenic views of the New River Gorge. This is a milder section of river, with whitewater that ranges from Class I-III. This full day adventure is sure to be filled with belly laughs, endless splashing, and a day disconnected from devices. When their heads hit the pillow that night, we can almost guarantee instant sleep, if they can keep from talking about how amazing their day was.
