The Upper Gauley River is the ultimate reason to go whitewater rafting. Grab your paddle because we’re ready to rock! The Upper Gauley drops over 350 feet in less then 12 miles…and yes that’s steep! Thundering rapids, exploding waves, raft munching holes, house-sized boulders, and virtually continuous whitewater are all hallmarks of the Fall Upper Gauley River.
ACE’s guides log thousands of Gauley River miles every spring and summer making ACE the experienced leader. All these additional trips mean your ACE guide can provide the most exciting ride from surfing to slot moves. We set the standard for today’s world-class Fall Gauley River Whitewater Rafting trip.
The best vantage point to all the front-row action of the Gauley River’s biggest drop…Sweet’s Falls. Enjoy a hot grilled lunch, complete with outdoor heaters to keep you warm while watching all the thrills and spills of Sweet’s and the Box Canyon unfold right in front of your eyes.
Is the Upper Gauley River right for me?
This is the “real deal”, not for the timid or non-swimmer. Be prepared to listen and paddle based on your guide’s expert instruction. This trip is ideal for the experienced paddler or aggressive thrill seeker. The perfect combination of technical team-work and big drop action. A one-of-a-kind ride of a lifetime!
