Have you ever rafted on the Gauley River?

Question

I'm going next weekend and wanted to hear other people's experiences.

Answer 1

I have rafted the New River several times, but have never had opportunity to raft the Gauley.  I have wanted to.

The reputation of the Gauley is that you will hit a lot more 4's and 5's and they will be much closer to each other.  Very tiring to say the least.  However if you are physically prepared for it, it will be the time of your life.  Have fun!
