Gauley Rafting Prelude

OVERVIEW

How well do I remember the raft lines for the Upper Gauley? Probably a good idea for me to figure that out before Gauleyfest!

The goal for this trip is for me to get a practice raft lap or two on the Upper Gauley river and for you to see what the Upper G is like! We’ll be camping at the takeout Friday night and then getting a lap or two in on Saturday. Departure and arrival time are rough estimates, let me know if you want to go and they don’t work for you or if you have any questions. Read more about the Upper Gauley on American Whitewater!

THIS TRIP IS FOR
People who have rafted the Upper Gauley or a similar Class V river
People who are Class IV or V whitewater boaters or raft guides
People who have swiftwater rescue training and/or are very strong swimmers

If any of the above sounds like you, sign up, answer the questions, and we’ll see what’s up! I will be taking the most experienced signees off this waitlist. These restrictions are here because while the Gauley is literally the best big water east of the Mississippi, it is very dangerous and often times deadly. By signing up for this trip you acknowledge the risk inherent with rafting/boating class IV and V rapids.

Bring:
Camping stuff
Whatever whitewater gear you have

I will bring:
Raft and any whitewater gear you need
