You unzip a helmet, feel the river’s humidity on your skin and the forest above hum with wind as guides clip you into the first of nine zips.
Daylight slices through hardwoods as you cross two moving sky bridges hundreds of feet above the New River Gorge. The gorge’s sandstone and Pennsylvanian-era coal seams rise like a carved amphitheater; rail lines and mining history are written into the cliffs below. After a short riverside hike, the group settles at ACE Adventure’s private campsite where guides set a hot dinner and the river’s rush becomes your evening soundtrack.
Morning brings a simple breakfast and the raft launch. The Lower New River—carved for millions of years and protected under New River Gorge National Park and Preserve—serves up more than 20 named rapids from III to V. Guided runs break for a riverside lunch, then continue past high bluffs, sandstone benches and abandoned rail grades that recall the region’s coal and rail heritage.
Expect a mix of adrenaline and practical logistics: harnesses and helmets for zips, PFDs and professional guides for rafting, dome tents with sleeping pads, and a short hike between activities. Minimum age and weight limits apply; participants should be comfortable with heights, basic swimming ability, and multi-hour outdoor activity.
Plan layers for cool mornings, waterproof footwear for river work, and a dry bag for cameras. Timing your trip in late spring through early fall gives the best water levels and warm nights; winter options are limited. Leave no trace and follow guide briefings to keep this wild corridor healthy for the next run.
Minimum age is 12; weight requirements are generally 70–250 pounds—check with the operator for precise fit and safety.
No prior experience required; professional guides handle technical aspects and provide instruction for beginners.
Trips may be canceled or adjusted for unsafe conditions; standard cancellation terms typically require 24+ hours for full refunds.
Yes—dinner on day one, breakfast and riverside lunch on day two, and dome tents with sleeping pads are included.
