Sometimes a lazy river at a water park can be a fun way to spend the day. And sometimes, only a real river will do. For this excursion, The New River is the destination — an all-day float trip that is not to be missed.
River Expeditions in Oak Hill provides various water excursions on the New River and Gauley River. For those who are not experienced with rafting, or have children with them, River Expeditions offers a Scenic Float Trip package.
You can choose to take the rafts out solo, or if you prefer, an experienced guide will steer the raft while you and your family relax and enjoy the ride.
There are plenty of places to stop and go for a swim, enjoying the cool water under the warm rays of the sun. Along with other necessary equipment, life vests will be provided for swimming safety.
It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature on both water and land, for both you and your kids or grandkids. They will have the chance to observe the wildlife, from local birds to significantly smaller critters.
Part of this journey includes a deli-style lunch to enjoy on the riverbank, before getting back on the water. This excursion can also be made into a two-day journey, to ride the gentle waves of the new river for a second day.
And if there are other activities you wish to try, this excursion can be extended to include a range of activities, such as whitewater rafting, ziplining, hiking, ATV riding, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, rock climbing and paintball.
So, if you are there for a float trip or wish to try any number of activities, River Expeditions has got you covered for days.
