A Day of Ducky Fun
ACE offers a variety of river craft to suit individual needs, abilities, river levels and rafting experience, including rafts and duckys (two person inflatable kayaks). We have 1-person duckys (must be at least 10 years old to paddle a single ducky). Children 6 to 9 may ride along in a 2 person ducky with an adult. During your check-in, you and your family may choose your favorite water craft. During the trip you may switch out between the rafts and the duckys.
There is plenty of time to play, experiment, and sample the different types of boats as we cruise down this beautiful section of the Upper New river. The calm warm stretches between whtewater rapids are a great place for swimming and floating (with PFD's on, of course!).
Your family will also love ACE's Lake, or check out the Mud Obstacle Course Video, and spending the night in a Deluxe Cabin here at the ACE Adventure Resort.
The Season
 Different seasons provide very diverse river experiences as the dynamics of the river and the rapids themselves are transformed. Spring rafting is a thrill ride with typically higher water levels, making the waves, holes and rapids even more powerful. March - May offers the biggest whitewater of the season, while summer months offer fun, excitement and warmer temperatures. Great whitewater remains a constant in September and October as fall is fabulous in the New River Gorge.
