Two Rivers, Two Days, Double the Fun
Raft both iconic sections of the New River on this two-day adventure!
Day One: Start on the Upper New River, where you'll navigate fun waves, calm pools, and Class I-III rapids. Choose between a raft (by request) or an inflatable kayak for a laid-back intro to whitewater. Midway, refuel with a riverside lunch before hitting the water again.
After an exciting day on the river, return to the resort to relax in our gorge-side pool, grab a bite at one of our restaurants, or unwind at the bar. Book a cabin, campsite, or RV site to stay overnight and recharge for day two!
Day Two: Take on the thrilling Lower New River! This stretch winds through New River Gorge National Park, featuring stunning views of Endless Wall, the New River Gorge Bridge, and Class III-IV rapids. A family-friendly challenge for ages 12+, this section delivers big waves and non-stop excitement!
This is not an overnight rafting trip, but staying on-site lets you experience all the adventure, relaxation, and fun AOTG has to offer!
