Overnight White Water Rafting Trips For The Family
Overnight Upper New River white water rafting trips are just the right mix of fun and chillin'. There are some waves here and there, plenty of daydream-filled floating, and one great rapid known as "Surprise." We'd tell you more about it, but then, well, it wouldn't be a surprise. Best of all, you camp out along the banks of the New River and let the sound of the water sing you to sleep.
Your first day of West Virginia rafting ends with a satisfying meal hot off the grill. In the morning, enjoy a delicious hot breakfast before heading out for more New River rafting with your gang. If there is a better way to spend quality family time, we haven't found it.
