RIDE THE WHITEWATER OF THE GAULEY RIVER
The famed New River deserves all the hype it gets among rafters. But the Gauley River is by far the gnarliest piece of whitewater in the state, if not the entire eastern seaboard. It runs for only six weeks in the fall, when the Army Corps of Engineers releases water from Summersville Dam. But this narrow window provides a chance to ride the Gauley through 25 miles of rugged country that drops nearly 700 feet. You will leave with a story. Guaranteed.
