We took a raft trip here. There is soooooo much to do here it is amazing. I had no idea! This was a blast! The staff was well organized but but not afraid to let their hair down and have fun. The lead raft guide Jimbo on our trip was the best! He was extremely impressive at his job. Do not let the dreadlocks and laid back attitude fool you. This man knows his stuff! Not only is he considered by many to be the best the New River has to offer, he is a cornucopia of history information. We learned so much about everything from the geology, history, structures, famous people, the bridge, wildlife, mining, ect. In order to have the best time possible, follow the directions on what to bring on the website. They do have a rental and pro shop on site if you need or forget something. But think minimal here. We took our trip in the summer when it was hotter. I wore shorts, t-shirt, water shoes, sunscreen (this is a biggy), and a baseball hat. Do not bring anything extra. There is little room on the rafts. Do not wear shoes you dont want to get dirty. And do not bring anything you cant live without. It can get lost. The mid trip lunch was FANTASTIC! No PB&J with these folks! It was pulled pork, chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, jello salad, 7 layer dip, chips, brownies, cookies, veggies, and vegetarian options as well. Extremely impressive. After your trip before they load you on the bus to go back, they had beers (for adults), waters, and sodas. I really didn't know what to expect on this type of trip. I came out having an awesome time with my family and friends. What a memorable day! Highly recommended! You wont be disappointed!
