Was just there yesterday. I swam 8 separate times.

I went 9/10. I loved the Lower. Bad thing is there's two big dead water spots where you get major downtime. There's some big, challenging rapids but nothing as technical as the Upper's best. If you really like surfing/play spots, I wouldn't recommend the marathon though cause you have to rush to get through the entire river. If you want to see the entire river, I'd recommend splitting the river up into two days so you can explore all the nooks and crannies.

When did you go? I just went This past weekend, 9/22 and on 9/23, we did the Upper Gauley. It was a blast! It was the second time I had EVER been on a raft. I loved it! We're thinking about going this weekend to do the entire trip. How was it?

In a 14' boat, we only had swimmers in Fuzzy Box (intentionally done) and two that fell out in a surf hole. No major rapids ate us up but damn it was exhausting to do the entire 23 miles in one day. I'll be back in 2008.

Good video - only quibble is that it doesn't show any carnage, and you don't take a raft down the Upper Gauley without someone taking a swim. Going back for Gauley Season 2007 in September - 6th year in a row.

Hell of a video. My first gauley trip was this past year during gauley fest wkd and it was awesome. I'm definitely going to make it a yearly thing.

I just went rafting there for the first time in my life earlier today. The boat I was on flipped over at the Insignificant rafting bit and I, of course, fell into the water. I couldn't swim so I floated and had to be picked up a couple minutes later by another boat of people. SCARY!!
