New & Gauley River Adventures is a full-service outdoor outfitter based in southern West Virginia that organizes whitewater rafting, horseback trail rides, overnight lodging, and primitive camping along the Gauley and New rivers. The operator runs a wide range of trips—from family-friendly Upper New River floats and half‑day Lower New River runs to adrenaline-fueled Upper Gauley Class V excursions including Double Upper options and the Full Gauley Marathon. Multi-day options include two‑day Upper Gauley expeditions and New River full canyon overnight trips. Lodging choices at base camp range from cozy Base Camp Cabins and Riverside Cottage in historic Thurmond to wilderness cabin and fire tower overnight stays, plus campsite reservations at Meadow River. Additional seasonal offerings include sleigh and carriage rides and guided trail rides for riders of all skill levels. Safety and local river knowledge are central: the outfitter operates on scheduled dam‑released Lower Gauley flows and runs established Class I–V routes on the New and Gauley rivers. Equipment and trip formats are tailored to skill level and group composition, with day and half‑day options for families, youth groups, and seasoned rafters. The business’s long presence in the region, varied trip roster, and combination of lodging and river-based adventures make it an efficient one-stop experience for visitors seeking convenience, reliability, and authentic Appalachian river trips. Featured on The Adventure Collective, the operation emphasizes memorable, professionally run river and trail experiences. Repeat guests praise attentive communication, customizable itineraries, and a local commitment to safety, conservation, and guest comfort every season.
