Lower Gauley Whitewater Rafting

Wildwater Expeditions in West Virginia

The Lower Gauley River flies under the West Virginia whitewater rafting radar, but don’t let your guard down because Lower Gauley rafting takes no prisoners. You’ve got to earn your fun!
The Lower Gauley boasts about 35 rapids that have big hits and long wave trains. In between rapids you’ll have a chance to catch your breath and take in the rare beauty of the Lower Gauley canyon.
This is a great section of river for first-time rafters looking to try their hand at the world-famous Upper Gauley River. Lower Gauley rafting also serves as a nice tune-up to run the Upper Gauley the next day.
As a bonus, your trip will take out at Sugar Creek, which eliminates 3 miles of flat water and shortens your bus ride back to Wildwater!
