Remember: a less crowded, quick boat means a BETTER RIDE! At ACE, 14-foot 7-person self-bailing rafts are standard. Our boats are light, maneuverable and easy to paddle! This is our classic, and we don't add additional fees for the BEST RIDE!

Spring Very Challenging

Spring means BIG water...BIG thrill...BIG fun! In Spring, the New is truly the "Grand Canyon of the East" with towering waves and monster hydraulics. This is Class V whitewater and there's NOTHING in the East that can match it.

Summer Challenging

Summer brings warm weather...and warm water. Even in summertime, the New has more water...and bigger waves...than any other eastern river. We'll play, surf, swim and enjoy all the fun things that make the New River the East’s best summertime ride.

Fall Challenging

Fall on the New means a kaleidoscope of color. Autumn days on the river are uncrowded and the water is usually crystal clear. Catch the awesome beauty of Fall in the mountains while you enjoy a gorgeous day on the river.
