The Lower New plunges over massive boulders in the New River Gorge in a drop-pool format. The drops in elevation are where you’ll find the rapids. The pools are where you have a chance to catch your breath, look back upstream and say, “I can’t believe I just did that!”
In the Spring you can raft on BIG water as the New River explodes with churning, jaw-dropping rapids. In early Summer (June and early July), the Grand Canyon of the East is the quintessential rafting experience as you whoop it up on well-defined wave trains and enjoy a cool, refreshing float between rapids.
