    Great two days here. Smallmouth the first day and Muskie fishing the second. John was a great guide. Palisades best food!

    Awesome experience! John was a great guide and the owner Shawn was great to work with. Caught my first Muskie. Smallmouth were plentiful! Eat at palisades best food in town!

    Girls loving the trip!

    Wonderful day on the river with Will! We spoke with Sean says ahead to learn about the types of raft trips, so scheduled an all day 10am-2pm trip for the four of us ($95 each). It was worth it! We met our guide, Will, a native of the area who was proud to show us the New River. He showed us maps of two areas of the river, one more rough than the other, and we chose the milder route. It was a perfect day and a perfect trip! We followed recommendations, wore hats, water shoes, long sleeves and sunblock and did great without burn on a sunny day. Your feet WILL get wet, as the raft does have water in the floor at times. We so very much enjoyed the peaceful sailing along the river, with an occasional splash from the rapids, wakes. Looking up at the bridges, bluffs, and nature was just lovely, and our guide Will was so pleasant, able to answer questions and physically help us in, out and whatever we needed. We pulled ashore at a shady lunch area and Will gave us yummy boxed lunches of chicken/bacon sandwiches, mandarin slices, chips and cookies, soda and water, before we resumed the last half of the 8 mile tour. There are no bathrooms once on the trip, bring some toilet paper in case you go behind the tiny shed of the lunch area. The water was shallow at times, and we could see big rocks in the water causing rapids, but no challenge to our sturdy raft. Near the end, we saw a fawn on an island of the river, and then we came ashore and Will drove us back to our cars. We actually were out longer than 4 hrs, and he made it so enjoyable we felt we could have stayed all day!

    AMAZING TIME and I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting that wants to float on the river…read more Now, you float for about an hour and then they pick u up and take u back to the beginning where u can do it all over again. They never once complained, and the driver even thanked me for coming- after I've soaked in the river and am now wet and sitting in HIS vehicle getting a ride back. THANK YOU! We had a great time - went down river 3 times for only $10 and that included the shuttle ride

    Great setup if you're interested in tubing without all the hassle that other tubing businesses…read morerequire such as safety classes or life jackets, etc. $ cash to park, but accepts credit cards/debit cards to pay for tubing. Reasonable prices to tube and they offer a tube for cooler's. They have a small store where you can buy soda's, ice cream, and snacks. You can leave your cooler at the landing spot and they have grills set up there where they'll provide the charcoal and light the grill for you. Park, pay the tubing fee, take your receipt to pick up your tube's. They'll hold your driver's license and you can hang your keys at the gate. The River is clean and clear! It can take a good hour to get down to the landing spot or you can hang out in the river and relax. There's two landing spots. The first one is before the small rapids and that's where the grills are located. The second landing is shortly after the rapids. If you get out after the rapids you'll have to walk a short distance to the first landing where you can enjoy a picnic or grill out before boarding the buses to return to home base. Staff are professional and friendly! There's two bathrooms and a shower at home base where you can cleanup or change clothes. I've been three times and I've enjoyed each time. When the River is low the water depth is up to your knee in most place's and can go up to your waist in a few places. The depth of the River after the rapids is what I'd say requires swimming in some areas. If you can't swim or aren't wearing a life jacket I wouldn't go down the rapids. Their season goes until the end of September and during September they're only open on the weekends. They open at 10:00 a.m.

    Wow wow wow. We tend to be a little bougie with our accommodations so we were going out on a limb…read moreduring our trip to West Virginia. Partly because there were no four seasons in the area (mostly joking) but also because we were in WeSt vIrGiNiA and wanted to get in touch with NaTuRe we decided to go outside of our cocmfort zone and picked some closer to nature options. This was the second. We went with Kaymoor at Adventures on the Gorge. Thjey have the full scale between literal camping and hotel-like, I believe we chose the most hotel-like option. I wanted to do the glamping but there were none available about a month before our trip when I finally got my shit together to book shit. Check in was super easy. We were given a key and a treasure map of how to get to our "cabin" which was easy to drive to. It is a legit cabin in the woods but will all amenities one would expect staying in the a hotel. Great bathroom and shower with a ton of towels, bedroom and separate lounge room that included a mini fridge. TV, wifi, climate control. There was even a cute little porch with chairs in the literal woods. It is so cool. AC worked great. The shower was great. They provided more towels than I'm used to getting at hotels. The bed was SUPER COMFY. I literally don't have enough good things to say about this place. Such a good choice.

    So many options, never enough time!! This outfitter has it all, jet boats, whitewater trips, ropes…read morecourse, zip lines, and more! All while also having many options for lodging! The pool is beautiful with a fantastic gorge view, and if you do any activity with them, you can take advantage of this little bonus! I did the jet boat tour, and it was fantastic! The views were incredible, and you learn about the surroundings from the boat captain. Megan was great, basically got our own private tour! The company also can shuttle you if you stay at Hawk's Nest State Park as the marina is by the base of the tramway from the lodge.
