Is the Lower Gauley River right for me?
If you are eager and ready for a highly energetic day of moderate to aggressive whitewater and you have a great team sprit and desire to paddle. The Lower Gauley River is ideal for adventurers who love big wave trains coupled with the challenges of paddling through twisting channels and rushing waters. No experience needed but also recommended.
