Here is my Gauley poem admittedly incomplete


The One.  The Only.  Pillow Rock Rapid on the Gauley River In West Virginia pretty much defies description.

We’re going to try anyway.

When you go whitewater rafting on West Virginia’s Gauley River, you’re going to come up against some pretty big rapids.  Class V rapids.hard_charging_the_upper_gauley_by_ACE_Adventre_Resort

The first one is called Insignificant.

If you go rafting on West Virginia’s Upper Gauley River this fall, there’s one thing that you’ll definitely remember about your trip: Sweet’s Falls.

Sweet’s Falls rapid is the coliseum of whitewater rafting.  It has everything.  A waterfall, big rocks, plenty of obstacles, and sometimes a very, very large crowd.


The Gauley River in West Virginia is about to change.  White water rapids are about to become the norm for almost 2 months, and white water rafters are coming to experience it.

Why?  Because of the Big 6.

upper_gauley_crew_by_ace_adventure_raftWell, that and a lot of other stuff, too.  But the Gauley is famous for some of the biggest, baddest, meanest, funnest (funnest?!) rapids anywhere.  The Big 6 are the ones that guides tell their kids about to scare them.

The Gauley River in West Virginia is home to some big, burly whitewater rafting.  That means Class V rapids.

But what’s a Class V, exactly?  And what are the Class V rapids like on the Gauley?  Never fear, ACE blog readers.  This post is here to help.
