Looking for a true wilderness adventure? Spend three days rafting with Adventures on the Gorge in the New River Gorge National Park and two nights at a riverside campsite. An extension of our two-day trip on both the Upper New and Lower New, this three-day trip is the perfect choice if you’re looking to spend even more time immersed in nature.
Our guides know how to do overnights perfectly. We are pioneers of overnights on the New and Gauley Rivers, and we take that expertise and translate it into this special overnight. This is the most immersive trip you can experience in the New River Gorge National Park!
On days one and two, you will begin your journey down the Upper New River. You’ll get to ease into whitewater rafting with mild rapids, a riverside lunch break, and plenty of time to float in calm pools. You’ll end each day at a campsite, where you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner and tell tales by the campfire. On day three, we’ll venture back onto the water and continue down the Middle New River.
If you love camping, experiencing the outdoors, and being unplugged-then this is the trip for you!

How to Dress for Rafting
What’s Included
Transportation is covered from the resort to the river and back again. We’ll also provide all your rafting equipment (helmet, personal flotation device or PFD, paddle, and boat) and a complimentary beverage.
What to Bring
Bring any medication you need throughout the day, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a change of clothes to keep at the resort to change into after your trip. Guides carry small, waterproof bags to stow necessary medications. Depending on the time of year and the weather, you may also want a synthetic layer. If necessary, wetsuits and splash jackets are available for rent. Call us to book those, too.
Trip Time
Your Boat & Guide
We typically take inflatable kayaks on the Upper New. They are one or two-person rafts shaped like kayaks. With an inflatable kayak, you’ll get to experience a more personal whitewater rafting challenge on a craft that’s stable, fun, and easy to maneuver. Our inflatable kayaks are self-bailing, which means water that splashes in will drain out on its own. Our standard, 16-foot rafts are available upon request or when the water is high. These comfortably seat eight rafters and one river guide. River guides will be either in rafts or in inflatable kayaks to lead the pack, and they’re experts at working with beginner rafters and families with small children. Learn more about our guides.
