Whitewater Rafting in the New River Gorge
The New River Gorge is one of the premier whitewater rafting destinations in the United States—and there’s a section of river for almost every kind of adventurer.
At West Virginia Adventures, we offer rafting experiences ranging from family-friendly trips to exciting whitewater adventures through the heart of the New River Gorge.
Upper New River Rafting
Looking for a more relaxed introduction to West Virginia whitewater rafting?
The Upper New River offers a milder rafting experience that’s great for families, younger adventurers and anyone who wants to enjoy the scenery of the New River Gorge while still experiencing plenty of fun on the water.
It’s also a great choice for groups with different comfort and experience levels.
Lower New River Rafting
Ready to turn things up?
The Lower New River combines exciting whitewater, beautiful scenery and the experience of rafting through one of America’s most spectacular river gorges.
It’s the classic New River Gorge whitewater experience and one of the adventures that keeps our guests coming back year after year.
If you’ve never rafted the New River before, 2027 is a pretty good year to change that.
When Is the Best Time to Go Whitewater Rafting in West Virginia?
One of the best things about planning a New River rafting trip is that different parts of the season offer different experiences.
Spring brings beautiful scenery and exciting river conditions as the mountains come back to life.
Summer is prime vacation season and a favorite for families, groups and anyone looking to cool off with a day on the river.
Fall transforms the New River Gorge with cooler temperatures and spectacular Appalachian color, creating an entirely different backdrop for your rafting adventure.
There’s no single “best” time to raft the New River—it depends on the experience you’re looking for.
That’s another reason to reserve early. Booking ahead gives you more choices when selecting the dates that work best for your group.
Planning a Group Rafting Trip in 2027?
Whitewater rafting is one of those experiences that’s even better when you bring your people with you.
West Virginia Adventures can help plan trips for:
- Families and family reunions
- Groups of friends
- Scout troops
- Youth and church groups
- Bachelor and bachelorette weekends
- Corporate and team outings
- School and college groups
Instead of trying to figure everything out at the last minute, start the conversation now.
Pick your dates, get your crew together and let us help you plan the river portion of your New River Gorge adventure.
Make the New River Gorge Your 2027 Vacation
Of course, rafting doesn’t have to be the only reason you come to West Virginia.
The New River Gorge region is packed with outdoor adventures, incredible views and places worth exploring before and after your rafting trip.
Turn your rafting day into a full New River Gorge getaway and spend a few days experiencing everything that makes this corner of West Virginia special.
Hike.
Explore.
Eat local.
Take in the views.
Then climb into a raft and experience the Gorge from an entirely different perspective.
There’s Still Time to Raft in 2026
Not ready to wait until next year?
Neither are we.
The 2026 season isn’t over yet.
Fall is one of the most beautiful times to experience the New River Gorge, and there’s still time to squeeze another adventure into this year’s calendar.
Cooler air, changing leaves and whitewater surrounded by the mountains of southern West Virginia make fall rafting an experience all its own.
So you have two choices:
Get on the river with us before 2026 wraps up—or start planning your 2027 adventure now.
Better yet?
Do both.
