The Gauley River
"The Beast of the East"

One million gallons of whitewater per minute rushing down an ancient, twisting, and rocky riverbed creating raging class V+ rapids. Roaring out of Summersville Dam for six glorious week...that’s Fall Gauley Season!

As the exploding, pounding spray permeates, breathe deeply, and gather your inner strength. Challenge dominating, towering waves and massive crashing surf. Navigate a maze of giant boulders, slots, and steep drops on the Gauley River.
The Gauley River's rush is exhilarating...an unparalleled thrill. You'll never feel more alive, more charged, more jubilant, as when you take your first paddle stroke down the most adrenaline packed day of class V+ whitewater rafting to be found in all of North America!

World-class whitewater rafting means world-class service and a high level of professionalism. Our guide staff takes rafting on the Gauley River and your safety seriously. ACE operates the only consistent summertime Gauley River program in the area, so our guide staff sees all sections of the Gauley at all types of water levels. This experience makes our guide staff the best in the industry!

Your guides are the best, most fun, and the most professional on the river.
